Howrah, West Bengal: Two women of a family are in a hospital in West Bengal after being allegedly gang-raped by eight men in a village in the Howrah district, neighbouring Kolkata, on Tuesday.
The women looked like "dogs had attacked them", according to people of their village.
The alleged assault apparently had political overtones; the women are from a family of CPM supporters and the alleged rapists, seven of whom have been arrested, are said to be linked to the state's ruling Trinamool Congress.
The police have arrested seven men. The eighth person named in the FIR, Barun Makal, is reportedly an election agent of a Trinamool legislator. He is still missing. Another insisdance of gangrape is in Kashmir.
Jammu & Kashmir's minister for health is in serious trouble after a subordinate working as a block medical officer in the state capital Srinagar charged him with molesting her.
The woman doctor, said to be a close relative of a senior Kashmiri separatist leader, told police in Srinagar that Shabir Ahmad Khan, a Congress minister in J&K's five-year-old National Conference-led coalition, made lewd verbal suggestions and "advances amounting to molestation."
