It's not looking good for India's tourism industry. A 51-year-old Danish tourist was reportedly gang raped in New Delhi, India on Tuesday.
According to police reports, the woman was attacked after asking for directions near a popular shopping district.
She approached a group of men for directions, but they lured her to a secluded area where they raped her at knife-point, according to the Press Trust of India news agency. The woman managed to reach her hotel Tuesday evening and the owner called police.
"When she came, it was miserable," said Amit Bahl, owner of the Amax Hotel in the Paharganj area, which is popular with backpackers. The woman was crying and "not in good shape," he said.
If the female tourists aren't safe from such threats, we can only imagine how scary it must be to actually live there.
Sadly, such horrific cases are nothing new in the country. Back in 2012, the horrific rape and murder of a 23-year-old physiotherapy intern sparked mass protests all over the world.
