THE THREE MEN ACCOMPANYING THE WOMEN WERE PUSHED INTO A CANAL BY THE THREE SUSPECTS
-
Two men were arrested on Saturday for allegedly gang-raping two women, including an Israeli national, and killing one of their associates in the Hampi district of Karnataka, police officers aware of the matter said, amid mounting outrage over the incident.
According to police, a group of two women-the owner of a local homestay and the Israeli tourist-and three men-a tourist from the US, one from Maharashtra, and an Odisha resident-were camping by the bank of the Tungabhadra Canal near Sanapur Lake in Gangavati, a popular tourist destination, late on Thursday. The group had gathered after attending a music concert when they were attacked by three men, police added.
"In her complaint, the 29-year-old homestay operator alleged that while they were stargazing and playing music, three men who came on a motorcycle approached them, asking where they could get petrol. When she informed them that there were no petrol pumps nearby, the accused demanded 100 from them," Koppal superintendent of police Ram L Arasiddi said.
