A Spanish woman, aged 28, was reportedly subjected to a horrifying gang rape in the Dumka district of Jharkhand. The incident unfolded on March 1st in the Kurumahat area under the jurisdiction of the Hansdiha police station, approximately 300 kilometers away from the state capital, Ranchi. The victim and her husband were spending the night in a tent when the assault took place.

According to the FIR filed with the police, the woman endured a harrowing ordeal at the hands of seven assailants. She recounted being threatened with a dagger, viciously kicked, punched, and subsequently raped. Shockingly, the assault persisted for nearly two and a half hours, as detailed in the report published by The Indian Express, quoting the information disclosed to the police.

In response to the heinous crime, Jharkhand Police have taken swift action, apprehending five suspects thus far, with a total of eight individuals now in custody.

According to officials as reported by PTI, Jharkhand Police arrested five additional suspects who had been evading capture in connection with the gang rape and assault of a Spanish woman. This brings the total number of apprehended individuals to eight.

The 28-year-old victim was allegedly subjected to a gang rape at Kurumahat in the Hansdiha police station area, situated approximately 300 kilometers away from the state capital, Ranchi, on March 1st. The assault occurred while she was spending the night in a tent with her husband, as per police statements reported by PTI. Reflecting on their choice of location, she remarked, "We chose the place for the night stay because it was calm and beautiful. We thought it would be okay if we lived there alone."

Returning to the FIR, the woman recounted that the horrifying incident unfolded between 7:30 pm and 10 pm. According to The Indian Express report, she detailed that three men initiated a dispute with her husband, ultimately assaulting him and binding his hands. Subsequently, she described how the other four assailants brandished a dagger before forcefully seizing and restraining her. They threw her to the ground, subjecting her to relentless kicks, punches, and repeated acts of rape by all seven men. The victim noted in the FIR that the perpetrators appeared to be somewhat intoxicated during the ordeal.

Furthermore, she lamented the loss of personal belongings, including credit cards, ₹11,000, and $300 US, all snatched by the assailants. Additionally, items such as a Swiss knife, a watch, a platinum diamond ring, a silver ring, earpods, and a black purse were among the stolen possessions, as detailed in the FIR.

"At approximately 7 pm, while we were inside our tent, we heard suspicious voices nearby. Upon stepping out, we noticed two individuals engaged in a conversation over the phone. Subsequently, around 7:30 pm, a group of individuals arrived on two motorcycles. Upon halting near our tent, they greeted with a muttered 'Hello friends.' Illuminating the area with our head torch, we observed five individuals advancing towards us, while two others headed towards our tent. They conversed in the local dialect, interspersed with occasional English phrases," the FIR cites her statement, as reported by The Indian Express.

‘No complaints against people of India’, says Spanish woman

"On Tuesday, she expressed no grievances against the people of India, emphasizing her safe travels spanning approximately 20,000 kilometers across the country. Addressing reporters before embarking on a journey to Nepal via Bihar alongside her husband on motorcycles, she affirmed her determination to continue her world tour. 'The people of India are kind-hearted. I hold no blame against them, but solely against the perpetrators,' she remarked, as quoted by PTI. Reflecting on her experiences, she added, 'The people of India have treated me with warmth and kindness.'

Dumka's Superintendent of Police, Pitamber Singh Kherwar, disclosed that they are collaborating with the CID and forensic experts to investigate the case thoroughly. 'We are committed to ensuring swift justice for the victim through a rigorous legal process,' he affirmed."
