Kangaroo court sentence woman to be gang-raped by 13 men

             
Times of India reports that the 20 year old woman above was sentenced by a Kangaroo court to be gang-raped by 13 men, simply because she had an affair with a man from another village.  According to the story, the woman was locked in a shed and raped overnight by 13 men, 10 of which had been 'judges' in the kangaroo court which sentenced her in a village near Suri in west Bengal state.

Presently, the woman is fighting for her life in hospital while all 13 men have since been arrested for rape. Among them is the village headman. Narrating her ordeal to the paper, the woman disclosed:

'I had an affair with a man. We were dragged to a gathering where our community headman was present. They told me to pay 50,000 rupees (£490). When I said I couldn't, they brutalised me.'

The victim and her lover from another village and religion were found sitting and talking by a group of tribal men from the victim's village on Monday January 19th. They dragged the two of them to a religious place known as a 'than' where a makeshift court was hastily put together on the orders of the tribal chief.

Police said that the young man was told to pay a fine of £245 and warned that if he did not pay, men from the village would 'have fun with the girl.'

With no money forthcoming, the woman was allegedly tied to a tree before she was forced into a shed and raped continuously until Tuesday morning.

The victim surrounded by her family. They managed to take her to hospital two days after the brutal assault and it was at the hospital that the crime came to light and police informed.
