New Delhi: Eleven men have been questioned for the alleged gang-rape of a young American tourist, which took place in Agra in September. The case was filed a week ago after the 25-year-old teacher returned to Pennsylvania and lodged a complaint through a US-based non-profit.
The woman had come to India for two weeks as part of a package tour. She has alleged that her tour guide, along with four staff members of a hotel where she was staying, had spiked her drinking water and gang-raped her.
Senior police officers say they have established the presence of the suspects at the hotel through electronic evidence, but certain inconsistencies have cropped up. They have asked the woman to return to India soon to record her statement in court and identify the suspects.
The woman's lawyer in India said she had been threatened, and was forced to maintain her silence till she reached home.
