Not long before a 17-year-old girl was gang-raped by a group of schoolboys inside a Mercedes car in Hyderabad on Saturday evening, she was seen in security footage standing with the suspected attackers outside the pub where she had met them. The boys had offered to drop her home. Instead, she was gang-raped inside a parked Mercedes at Jubilee Hills, an upscale neighbourhood in Hyderabad. Her attackers took turns to rape her while the others stood guard outside the car. The crime in the heart of the Telangana capital, allegedly involving children and grandchildren of politicians driving luxury cars, has triggered nationwide outrage.
