Two women including Israeli tourist gang-raped in Karnataka town, one co-traveller found dead
Bengaluru/IBNS: Two women including an Israeli tourist were gang-raped by three men in the Koppal town of Karnataka on Thursday night, media reports said.
The accused committed the crime while the two along with three co-travellers- Daniel, Pankaj and Bibash- were stargazing on the serene banks of a canal in Koppal, which is about 350 km away from the tech city Bengaluru.
The men pushed the three co-travellers into the canal and gang-raped the two women.
While Daniel (from the United States), Pankaj (traveller from Maharashtra) managed to swim out to survive, Bibash (from Odisha) drowned.
Bibash's lifeless body was found on Saturday morning.
The three men arrived at the canal in bikes, asked where they could get petrol and then started demanding Rs. 100 from the travellers, as per the complaint filed by one of the rape victims, a 29-year-old homestay owner.
The complaint said the three accused fled the spot after committing the crime.
Police said the accused have been identified and two special teams have been mobilised to nab the three men.
The two victims are recovering at a government hospital.
