Indian police personnel present six arrested men, accused of a gang rape in Punjab state, Sunday.
Updated at 8:39 p.m. ET: Six suspects have been arrested over the rape of a woman on a bus in northern India, just weeks after the gang-rape and murder of a student sparked nationwide protests, reports said early Sunday.
Police say a 29-year-old woman was a lone passenger on a bus to her village in northern Punjab state on Friday when she was attacked, The Associated Press reported.
The driver and conductor allegedly refused to stop at her village and instead drove her to a desolate location. They took her to a nearby building where they were joined by friends and raped her repeatedly, the AP said.
The woman went to a police station in the morning to file a complaint. Six of the seven suspects have been arrested, Reuters reported.
The issue of rape has taken center stage in India, where a 26-year-old woman said she was raped through the night Friday by six men. NBC's Duncan Golestani reports.
The apparent case follows the gang rape and fatal beating of a medical student on a New Delhi bus in December, which sparked protests in India over national attitudes to violence against women and made headlines around the world.

Despite the heightened awareness of the way sex crimes are dealt with, the Times of India reported that the latest victim was publicly named by police in Punjab – a move the newspaper described as “completely insensitive.”

"Six men have been arrested on allegations of having raped a 29-year-old woman... after forcibly taking her to an unknown location on the night of January 11," local police officer Raj Jeet Singh said, according to Agence France-Press.
Police say they arrested six suspects on Saturday and are searching for one other, AFP said.

Weak men trying to feel powerful.
Clipping these guys nut sacks when they get caught might send a message that this isn't really the proper thing to do to women on a bus or anywhere for that fact.
What if we take all the guns away from men... and give them to the women? Will we kill two birds with one stone?
I have thought of that as well, as unrealistic as it is. Still I think it would be effective.
dont those people get it?? it is now very apparent that indian women are on the same level as those in afghanistan, saudi arabia...i.e, LOW. seems to me that the laws in that country (and quite honestly in ALL countries) need to be changed so that raping women is a serious crime worthy of no less than physical castration or death...PERIOD!!!
You do realize that most Indians are Hindus or Sikhs, and not Muslims, right?
Coming to America. Our government continues to allow vast numbers of immigrants from these countries bringing their twisted morality here. In our area we have vast numbers of Indian scabs brought in to take high tech jobs from Americans.
And Islam supposively values woman yeah right.
What does Islam have to do with this rape? Do you know that not every Indian is a Muslim?
First, it was all the Mexican coming to take our jobs. Then it was the Somalians. Now that India is in American news, it is Indians that are taking our jobs. If you are so scared about your job, why don't you do all you can to be better yourself and protect your job? Indians coming to this country are not uneducated. How many Caucasian American won the spelling bee in the last few years? That's right, none, because Indians work hard for what the have. We want to sit on our fat asses and blame others for why we don't have what they have.

US NATIONAL RAPE/SEXUAL ASSAULT STATISTICS
According to a study conducted by the US National Victim Center, 1.3 women (age 18 and over) in the United States are forcibly raped each minute. That translates to 78 an hour, 1,871 per day, or 683,000 per year. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, nearly 6 out of 10 rape/sexual assault incidents are reported by victims to have occurred in their own home or at the home of a friend, relative, or neighbor.51% of the sexual assault cases studied in the Women’s Safety Project survey were committed against young women between 16 and 21 years old.According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Only 16% of rapes are ever reported to the police. In a survey of victims who did not report rape or attempted rape to the police, the following was found as to why no report was made: 43% thought nothing could be done, 27% felt it was a private matter, 12% were afraid of police response, and 12% felt it was not important enough.13.3% of college women indicated that they had been forced to have sex in a dating situation.In a national survey 27.7% of college women reported a sexual experience since the age of fourteen that met the legal definition of rape or attempted rape, and 7.7% of college men reported perpetrating aggressive behavior which met the legal definition of rape.Among developmentally disabled adults, as many as 83% of the females and 32% of the males are the victims of sexual assault.16% of male students surveyed by the Ms. Foundation who had committed rape, and 10% of those who attempted a rape, took part in episodes involving multiple perpetrators.Women with disabilities are raped and abused at a rate at least twice that of the general population of women.
Conclusion, using your logic:
Wow amazing.. " Indian Scabs". Probably you are upset that with your attitude, you are unemployed and a broke ass, because some one more educated in the field were ou work. and having more understanding of the job must have taken your position. So Moron go get educated and try to better yourself than the person who took your job. Otherwise you will be facing the " The Law of Diminishing return".
Just another normal day in the Muslim world
Hindu world, not Moslem! Creeps abound in all religions, look at the BBC and the Pedo Rings around Christian Northern Europe. Good WASP Stock.
India has a vast number of muslims and hindus. Wana bet the perps were muslims?
people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. This country is not much better as far as womens rights go. clean up your own house first
You looked at the covered face of the rapists and you know that they are Muslims? Quick, you better sell your clairvoyant abilities to the highest bidder!
I just read about the NewYork incident and it is making news today, it is there if you google it. Totally disgusting to say the least and any teacher that allows this to happen is no better than the rapist themselves. Both need to go to jail many, many years. The girl sounds like she has had it pretty bad in her life and her mother should refuse to put her in public schools for her safety. No education would be better than what this girl has endured in her life. As far as Indian men, they make me sick because of these gang rapes. I think very lowly of the Indian culture and people as I learn more about it from different people I know. Women are disrespected and thought of even as not good enough by their own parents if they don't become doctors. A job like being a pharmacist is second class according to one young Indian girl I know here in the states. Very sad when their parents are not proud of them and their accomplishments.
I agree with McGusto too. Our "immigrants" from south of the border commit sex crimes so often it's not really news anymore. Apparently, sex crimes are just a part of their culture.
Not being the father or related, I would rather not see them hanged. Neutered and "Bobbited" but not hanged. Isn't that what we do with animals that can't control themselves?
To deny them the chance to reconsider their actions and live with the consequences could be considered cruel an unusual. Of course their considered actions were such. I would probably feel the same way as the father. Violant times we live in.
A society will have whatever it tolerates.
That applies to our country as well.
Completely and utterly disgusting. Only comment I can make. Everyone else has said it all.
I agree that rape is "completely and utterly disgusting." However others are not denoucing the crime, they are denouncing an entire nation and stereotyping all Indian men.
wow.... how stupid can you be.... but that's where you have a culture that says when you're a man you take anything you want from any women you like, coz you're a man.
take away their manhood, it's simpler and cheaper and guaranteed to work.... wth is wrong with you people.
American Companies, with the help of the government, have brought over 2,000,000 of these little guys into America to take American jobs; maybe they'll insinuate their culture over the next few years under an administration that hates America.
Yeah our government imports these people into America to take jobs away from Americans.
America the "Melting Pot" has turned into America the Garbage can. This country is being destroyed under the guise of "Political Correctness". I have seen the best of this country, the worst is yet to come as Immigrants from third world countries continue to pour in.
Tarzan, go back to the jungle or whichever country your ancestors came from! Lazy Americans in substandard situations will always blame others instead of looking at how to better themselves.
By the way, our ethnocentricity cause us to view this country as a "melting pot." The Canadians are so much smarter to see their country as a "mosaic of cultures" where the embrace the richness/goodness of all cultures.

Conclusion, using your logic:
As far as the gun debate goes there is just the one thing that should change, the gun show loophole. Remember the 2nd ammendment reads 'a well REGULATED militia'. I will never own a gun but I don't have a problem with people who do but a background check must be a requirement ALWAYS!
The Government in India will ultimately do nothing. They are just putting on a horse and pony show to quail the people and the media. It will all die down and be forgotten until the next time. India has no respect for women what's so ever! Elephants are more prized then women.
Libs should be happy. There was no gun play. This is the kind of unarmed society they want. The woman didn't use one of those evil guns and didn't hurt any of those poor misguided men that probably had bad parents and just need some sensitivity training and a second chance. After all if she had one of those evil guns she might of shot and killed someone.
I use to not think so badly of India now I have changed my view completely. They obviously believe they can get away with this.

What, things like this don't happen in this country? It is just some countries are a little more uncivilized than others.
India is a dirty filthy backwards country. But it seems our government Loves these kind of countries for some reason or other. Can't figure it out.
They publish the victim's name, but cover the faces of the men who did this? That in itself speaks volumes.
There should be a huge reward for the castration then the public hanging of these scumbag cowrdly animals. Do it now!
Coming to your bus soon, multi-culturalists.
Given our immigration policies of allowing third world savages into our country, it won't be some anonymous woman in India, it will be your daughter, your wife, your sister soon. Get ready for it. And, you're about to be disarmed. You won't be able to do sh*t about it.
Wake up now, get your minds right or we're lost.

And Obama welcomes all illegals from south of the border which treats women in a similar manner. A large number of rapes are committed by illegals.
Rapes are also committed by Anglo football players, too. But of course those don't count!
Actually, there is a huge problem with undocumented women being assaulted, and not necessarily by undocumented men. Since they cannot go to the authorities to report it, it seems to happen quite frequently in this country. Also, on the reservations, Native American women are being raped by non native men who come onto the rez for that very reason.
The Violence Against Women Act was voted down by 67 of our politicians. Had it been passed this time, it would have protected even more women than the original.
The truth is rape is not exclusive to any race or social class.
Were these men good looking or were they unattractive? I think it matters.
You diffently come from a world of morons
Got ya. LOL
Okay I started the talk about carrying a gun, maybe a better option would be for the Bus companies to check their hiring practices and maybe a cop or 2 riding the bus. Personally I would have no trouble with castration or death for these guys, but it sounds like it needs a systemic solution. And that is going to require the government to get off its ass. In the mean time maybe a neighbor watch is needed. The problem I see is WE are providing Our solutions for THIER Problem. THEY are going to have to solve it.
