The repercussions of the rape of a tourist with dual Brazilian and Spanish citizenship in India are still widespread, as the Indian police handed over to her husband compensation amounting to 10 thousand rupees, equivalent to 120.60 dollars, according to local media.
Indian police also arrested 3 men and are looking for 4 others accused of attacking tourists and gang-raping a woman.
Pitamber Singh Kirwar, police inspector in Dumka, eastern India, told reporters on Saturday that police found the couple, who are Spanish citizens, at around 11pm local time (17:30 GMT) on Friday on the side of the road, and they appeared to have been beaten.
Kirwar did not provide details regarding the crime or the identity of the victims, adding that the two people reported to the authorities that they were assaulted in an incident in which 7 men participated.
According to Kirwar, one of the detainees gave the authorities the names of other people involved.
Details of the incident
- The couple, who identified themselves as Vicente and Fernanda to Spanish television channel Antena 3, explained in a video interview on Saturday that the two men raped Fernanda and repeatedly beat Vicente.
- The couple indicated that they camped near the site where they were attacked because they were unable to find hotels nearby.
- Fernanda, who has dual Brazilian and Spanish citizenship, said in the interview: “They raped me, and they took turns while others were watching me, and they remained like that for regarding two hours.”
At the beginning of the week, the couple posted a video clip describing what happened on their joint Instagram account, where they posted pictures of their trips around the world on a motorcycle to nearly 200,000 followers, but the video clip is no longer available.
In a new video clip, Vicente and Fernanda, who appeared with bruises on her face, thanked their followers for the support.
The Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Sunday that it would send staff to the region and that it was in contact with the authorities, while its Brazilian counterpart said that it had requested to contact the Brazilian citizen through its embassy in New Delhi and that it was available to provide all possible assistance.
