2013 Mumbai gang rape

2013 Mumbai gang rape was executed by five individuals in the abandoned
Shakti Mills compound, Mahalaxmi, Mumbai. On August 22, 2013, a 22-year-
old photojournalist with her male colleague went to the deserted compound on
an assignment. Five men attacked them, tied the male colleague and molest
the photojournalist.
They also threatened both of them to not to report this incident. She gave her
statement to police after four days on the 26 August, after receiving medical
treatment from Jaslok Hospital. In her statement, she bravely said that, “I want
no other woman in this city and country to go through such a brutal physical
humiliation.
Perpetrators should be punished hardly, they have ruined my life. No
punishment short of a life term will take away my pain, humiliation and
physical abuse I underwent. Rape is not the end of life. I will continue my
fight.” This spread like a fire in the jungle, and soon the police were able to
catch those culprits in 65 hours. On April 4, three of the culprits were
sentenced to death while two of them were awarded with the life sentence.
