Another foreign tourist cries rape

Filed under:

PUSHKAR: Another rape story is swirling out of the deserts of Rajasthan and this time the victim is a Japanese woman who has complained that she was duped by a group of men in Pushkar, drugged at a hotel and raped.

The rape, committed on April 2, went unreported until this week when the tourist sent a fax to the Ajmer police from Agra.

She alleged that three youths befriended her when she reached Pushkar in late March and took her to a guest house.

Telling her that Pushkar was not safe for tourists, the guest house owner, Babloo, advised her to give him all her valuables and cash.
