Five villagers have confessed to gang-raping a Swiss tourist in Madhya Pradesh, police said on Sunday. The woman was on a cycling holiday with her husband when six men attacked the couple on Friday night, sexually assaulting the woman in front of her husband and robbing the pair, police said.
“We have detained five men and they have confessed to gang-raping the woman and attacking her husband,” local police official MS Dhodee said. The five men, who eke out a living as small-scale farmers, have been arrested on charges of rape and robbery, Dhodee said. Police are searching for a sixth man, he said.
The alleged rapists live in a village near the forested area where the couple had stopped to camp, while on a cycling trip to Agra, Dhodee said.
