44 MEN ARRESTED IN INDIA FOR REPEATEDLY RAPING TEEN OVER 5 YEARS

Indian police have arrested 44 men in Kerala for allegedly raping an 18-year-old Dalit girl over a 5-year period, starting when she was just 13.

The victim revealed the abuse to a volunteer during a gender awareness program. She reported sexual assault by 62 individuals, with 58 suspects identified so far. Among those accused, some are minors.

Authorities have promised to arrest the remaining suspects soon. This case has shocked India, a country already grappling with a rape crisis—over 31,000 rapes were reported in 2022.
