Gang Rape Victim Dies In Hospital

    A female student gang-raped on a bus in India's capital Delhi has died at a Singapore hospital, doctors say.

    "The patient passed away peacefully at 4:45am on 29 Dec 2012," a statement from the hospital said. The patient's family had been by her side, it added.

    The 23-year-old had arrived in Singapore on Thursday after undergoing three operations in a Delhi hospital.

    The attack earlier this month triggered violent public protests in India that left one police officer dead.


    Don't know if the story was talked around here much but it's been in the news for days now. Unfortunately the outcome wasn't good for the victim.

    It's hard to believe it went on for an hour on a bus. Sick.

    Ah no, how awful.

    I've been following this story and really hoping she pulled through.

    God love her.

    RIP, and thoughts to her family at this awful time.

    How absolutely awful.

    Edit: If anything one can only hope that her death and all of the protests since the rape help women in the future.

    Apparently it was a "private" bus.

    Did you read about the attack? She was gang raped by 5-7 men who also used an iron bar on her and she lost her intestines?

    Raped in India, and a resident of india.

    It was a bus seized and driven by joyriders apparently. The victim and her friend got onto it and then got suspicious when it took the wrong route.

    Aborting chirldren because they are female is what they are saying has caused the increase in gang rapes.
    But killing females, selling daughters into prostitution and the overall disrespect for women in India is the cause of there horrific crimes.

    We are by fact not all equal. But we deserve man-made laws to treat us as equals.

    India is listed in international surveys as one of the fifth worst countries to be a woman.

    Very sad.

    It will probably be not safe in some places tonight on India streets if trouble breaks out again.

    When I saw the thread title I thought it was for another story
    A 17-year-old Indian girl who was allegedly gang-raped has committed suicide, sparking public outrage over the Indian police’s handling of sex crimes against women.

    The family of the teenage victim alleges that the police officers investigating her case had pressured her to drop her complaint and marry one of her attackers.

    Two officers have been fired and one suspended after the teenager was found dead on Wednesday night after swallowing poison

    That one was in the papers yesterday, I wasn't realy aware of the case with the Singapore hospital

    Sorry for the hijack OP

    Poor woman, RIP, apparently she was thrown from the bus as it was moving. Every single person on that bus should be prosecuted for rape as all it could have taken was one or two sensible people to intervene to prevent it.

    There is a massive problem in India with gangrape and a backward misogynistic attitude towards women.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,129 ✭✭✭✭Oranage2


    Very sad, protests were talking place all over India last week, she was on a bus and the driver rang his buddies. They'll probably get the death penalty if that's any consolation.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,219 ✭✭✭woodoo


    Terrible crime. I hope the perpetrators are made to suffer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,232 ✭✭✭✭Annasopra


    So tragic

    Hopefully the Indian government will actually listen to the protests

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Very sad.

    Strange to think that the Indian govt were up in arms about Savita when this carry on goes on in their streets unchecked. Disgraceful. Politicians are the same everywhere it seems.

    :eek:

    Oh Sweet Jesus! No-one on this Earth deserves to die in this manner! No-one! Shuddering at the mentality involved by those men who gang-raped her and beat her friend
    Police said she was raped for nearly an hour, and both she and her companion were beaten with iron bars and thrown out of the moving bus and into the street.

    Abortion is legal in India, hence the indignation over Savita.

    It's perfectly normal over there to abort if you are expecting a girl but want a boy e.g.

    An overall sign of their attitude to human/womens rights

    Very sad, I knew a fellow Irish man, he was gang raped in harlem he took his own life 4 days later, so so sad.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Is the death sentence punishment still on the legal books of India?

    India has been shocking, I don't think this is the same case but somebody got raped recently and reported it to the police there. The police then raped her if I remember correctly?

    Yes.
    The Supreme Court of India ruled in 1983 that the death penalty should be imposed only in "the rarest of rare cases."[2] Capital crimes are murder, gang robbery with murder, abetting the suicide of a child or insane person, waging war against the nation, and abetting mutiny by a member of the armed forces.[2] Since 1989, the death penalty has also been legal for a second offence of "large scale narcotics trafficking". In recent years the death penalty has been imposed under new anti-terrorism legislation for people convicted of terrorist activities.[2]

    They executed one of the Mumbai terrorists this year so they still have it

    Though its not 4.45am in India yet so time is wrong.

    Terribly sad. My best friend went travelling around India for a few weeks on her own during the summer. I was worried sick the whole time. I know bad things can happen in any country but the amount of groping, harassment ect that goes on over there is scary.

    That's right.
    It's impossible to understand the mentality.
