Jan 3, 2013
Women in New Delhi, the Indian capital, have held street protests as reports emerged that the gang of rapists who assaulted a woman on a bus in New Delhi tried to run her over after the fatal attack. The victim's boyfriend, beaten up and thrown off the bus after the woman had been repeatedly raped, managed to save her from being run over, police have alleged in a 1,000-page charge sheet to be presented in court on January 3.
