Swiss tourist gang-raped in central India

NEW DELHI (AP) — A Swiss woman who was on a cycling trip in central India with her husband has been gang-raped by eight men, police said Saturday. The attack comes three months after the fatal gang-rape of a woman aboard a New Delhi bus outraged Indians.
Authorities detained and questioned 13 men in connection with the latest attack, which occurred Friday night as the couple camped out in a forest in Madhya Pradesh state after bicycling from the temple town of Orchha, local police officer R.K. Gurjar said.
The men beat the couple and gang-raped the woman, he said. They also stole the couple's mobile phone, a laptop computer and 10,000 rupees ($185).
The woman, 39, was treated at a hospital in the nearby city of Gwalior, Gurjar said.
A photo showed the woman walking while being escorted by police to the hospital. Her face was concealed with a hood, a common practice in India, where law does not allow rape victims to be identified publicly to protect them from the stigma attached to rape in the conservative country.
Police detained 13 men and questioned them, Gurjar said. Six of the men were released after questioning. No other details were immediately available.
Indian television stations showed scores of police searching the forest where the attack occurred.
Swiss Foreign Ministry spokesman Tilman Renz described the case as "deeply disturbing" and said Swiss diplomats were assisting the couple.
The diplomats called on Indian authorities "to do everything to quickly find the perpetrators so that they can be held accountable," Renz said in a statement.
Last month, the Swiss government issued a travel notice for India that included a warning about "increasing numbers of rapes and other sexual offenses" in the South Asian nation.
India has seen outrage and widespread protests against attacks on women since December's fatal gang-rape of a young woman on a moving bus in New Delhi, the capital. The crime horrified Indians and set off nationwide protests about India's treatment of women and spurred the government to hurry through a new package of laws to protect them.
One of six suspects in the December attack was found dead in a New Delhi jail this past week. Authorities said he hanged himself, but his family and lawyer insisted foul play was involved. A magistrate is investigating. Four other men and a juvenile remain on trial for the attack.

Aisam and Faha’s divorce......Facebook is Responsible

Aisam and Faha’s divorce: hidden role of Facebook

 
Karachi: The news of Aisam ul Haq Qureshi, only popular tennis player of Pakistan and Faha Akmal Makhdom getting divorced is everywhere and so are the theories behind their separation.

But something that surprisingly everyone has forgotten is the role of social media in this divorce.
Few months ago, there was news of Faha’s Facebook account being hacked. And lately her account was flooded with status updates of their divorce. And the most recent update is of Faha removing Aisam’s pictures from her profile.
Whether her account was hacked or not, is still a mystery. But one thing that cannot be denied is the active presence of public figures on social media. Stars can be using it themselves or maybe fan pages are keeping them alive on the social arena.
According to an American research, Facebook is responsible for one in every five divorce in USA. And if this research is taken into the perspective here, then it makes some sense.
Maybe the social media is responsible for this fiasco of Aisam and Faha’s marriage.
