A man in the capital city of Uttar Pradesh, India, has died after the driver of a private ambulance took him off of life support and threw him out of the vehicle so he would have the opportunity to rape his wife.
According to The Times of India, the incident occurred late last month after the woman hired the emergency vehicle to escort her, her brother, and her husband home after he was discharged from a hospital in Lucknow due to financial limitations.
Speaking with police, the woman explained that on the way home, the emergency vehicle driver asked her to sit in the front seat next to him to avoid being stopped by police.
“I was forced to sit in the front seat, and then the driver and his companion started molesting me. I objected, but they did not listen to me,” she said, adding that her husband and brother sensed something was wrong and began trying to intervene from the back of the ambulance.
As a result, the men stopped the ambulance near the Chhawani police station, where they “forcibly removed the oxygen mask from [the woman’s] husband and threw him out” of the car before locking her brother in the front and proceeding to molest her.
In addition to sexually assaulting her, the woman also informed police that the men looted over $120 USD from her purse, jewelry, her identification card, and her husband’s hospital reports.
Why is it when Uttar Pradesh is mentioned it’s always news about woman getting sexually assaulted jfc
Uttar Pradesh is the Florida of the world, but like, way worse.
It’s like eleven Floridas crammed into the space of Michigan.
With bonus religious tension
Because that’s the only news being fed to Western audiences.
I can accept that there are good things about Uttar Pradesh which are not reported to the Western world. For example, it looks like a beautiful place.
However, those good things not being reported doesn’t really impact the frequency of such horrible atrocities being committed there.
No, but it does create the false perception that all the men there are rapists.
That’s fair.
Some of them are also being eaten by wolves recently. The children, mostly. But that is not as common a problem as women being sexually assaulted is.
