Here's India Bus Rape Update- 7 Men were arrested.

Seven men were arrested by the police after they allegedly gang-raped a 29-year-old woman on a bus in Punjab in the northern part of India. This is the second incident of sexual assault in just weeks, after a 23-year-old medical student died from injuries inflicted by her attackers also in a bus. The latest incident involved a woman travelling back to her village on Friday night. The bus driver and conductor reportedly refused to stop when she asked them to and instead, on a motorcycle, took her to a place close to the city of Amritsar. The two were allegedly joined by 5 others who took turns raping the woman. She was dropped off near her village the next morning where she recounted the horrific experience. The police said she came with her family to report the rape on Saturday. The first incident sparked protests in India which prompted the government to set up special courts to deal with rape cases and to consider strengthening sexual assault laws.
