“Seven men raped me. They beat us and robbed us, although they took very little, because they really wanted to rape me.”
“My mouth was in a terrible state, but my partner suffered more than me. They hit me several times with a helmet and a stone on the head. Thank God I was wearing a jacket, which softened a little the blows,” his wife. added.
However, over time, the videos disappeared from the page.
According to NDTV, the woman and her 64-year-old partner later removed the video from social media as the Jharkhand police asked them to “not interfere” in the investigation.
“The police told me to delete the post so as not to interfere with the investigation. I will post it later,” the woman said.
The video showed his face swollen and bruised after the attack.
“My face looks like this, but that’s not what hurts me the most. I thought we were going to die. Thank God we’re alive,” she added.
In turn, Dumka police chief Pitamber Singh Kherwar told reporters that the couple flagged down a patrol van, which took them to a local health center for treatment.
“The couple spoke a mixture of English and Spanish, so the patrol team could not understand them at first. But they appeared to be injured, so they were taken for treatment,” he said, and the couple even told the doctors about the possible rape .
The Brazilian Embassy in India told the BBC that the woman and her husband were “victims of a serious criminal attack.” It added that it had contacted the woman and local authorities, as well as the Spanish Embassy, as the couple had used Spanish passports to enter India.
“The Spanish Embassy said it was offering all available assistance, including psychological support, but the victims declined the offer as they were already being cared for by Indian emergency services,” the Embassy of Brazil.
