Spate of gang-rapes over weekend shames India...

Despite India's vigil against rising sex attacks on women, several gang-rape cases were reported over the weekend, including one in which a 12-year-old victim was killed and thrown in a farmland following brutal sexual assault.

In Thane, in the suburbs of the financial capital Mumbai, the little girl was abducted on her way back from school and was raped. The girl was from the Kaman village in Vasai area of Thane district, the Hindustan Times reported.

She had left for school in the morning of 16 January, but never returned. It is believed that her abductors took her to a farm and raped her, police said.

The family lodged a complaint, and her decomposing body was found on Sunday afternoon on the farm. According to the police, the postmortem revealed the girl was raped before the murder.

Meanwhile, a working woman returning home at night was abducted and gang-raped in the eastern industrial city of Kolkata on Sunday night. Full story...
