Gang Rape Victim Dies In Hospital

Lightbulb Sun

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.

I hope everyone involved is successfully prosecuted for murder.

Scumbags, what a horrible death.

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.

She isn't dead according to the indian news channel I am watching on sky.

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.

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.

woodoo

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

Annasopra

So tragic

Hopefully the Indian government will actually listen to the protests

GRMA

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.

kerry4sam

: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.

Biggins

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

Tar.Aldarion

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.

I guess then maybe a number of killers tonight might be worried that it will apply to them.

I was in Thailand in 2011 and during the night I noticed a disturbance and that the police were at the hotel two or three floors above my own, this obviously alarmed me thinking a robbery or terrorists or something. I found out later that some indian guest at the hotel had taken back a thai prostitute to his room where several of his buddies had then proceeded to rape her.

They must have let her go but she obviously went to the police because I seen the Thai police take them away in handcuffs afterwards when I made my way down to the lobby. The sickening part was I had had a brief conversation with one of them at the hotel pool the day before and they seemed to be normal.

twiggy86

Have been following this story since it first hit headlines and I really hoped she would pull through... I also hope her friend who was with her when she was attacked is ok mentally & physically, he was injured himself and it would have been terrible to witness this and not be able to help her.

I don't normally do this but I only wish bad things on the men who committed this crime.

Galwayguy35

It's just come on the Indian news now that she passed away.

RIP

galwayrush

Horrific ordeal. R.I.P.

Merch

Not suprised at all when I read this story.
After I travelled through part of India I was suprised and then shocked how bad it is,
From reading the english printed newspapers (India Times I think, not the Times of India, might be different)

Even ordinary stories are reported in a chauvanistic way, but horrific stuff, like women (victims of rape) having burning tyres of petrol put around their neck.
Things I had assumed may have applied to another religion, but in actual fact, from what I can tell probably dont, but do apply to Hindu India, bloody horrific stuff.

I'm the same. I can't imagine a worse way to die. I want the 6 men to go to prison but I also wish them harm. I wish they could suffer a fraction of what she did. Animals.

I hope so too, the details of the attack are just horrific.

The perpetrators have been caught and are in custody, while it's rare I'd wish death on somebody, in this case the attack was so disgusting and so prolonged that I can't imagine allowing someone who did that as part of a group to live.

Fromthetrees

It doesn't get any worse than this, it's absolutely horrid.

This is a good idea from the article,

The government has also said that it will post the photos, names and addresses of convicted rapists on official websites to shame them

It doesn't solve the problem but it's one small step in addressing it. I'd like if we had something similar here, not some 16 year old guy with his 15 year old girlfriend but perpetrators of sexual crime that require a custodial sentence should be named and shamed.

Merch

I dont understand how the attackers justify this to themselves,
I think its just rape they want to be involved in but use the excuse to attack women they consider of low moral values for travelling on a bus at the wrong time to dish out justice in the form of non existant moral values??

Its like some kind of child like mental state of not having achieved adulthood?? I dont understand and am reminded of how I felt when I left India.

Caste system?

The belief that some people are inferior to others maybe

Just throwing it out there

I know, even though I was told by Indians that discrimination based on the caste system is illegal under law, doesnt make me think that its applied.

I am even hazarding a guess it isn't caste based, just rape because society there is so misogynistic, that some aspects of it are horrific.

Other than the obvious, beat them with iron bars. It sounds like they were out to cause as much damage as possible.
