Japanese tourist raped in Jaipur by her guide

#japanesetourist #tourguide #jaipur #pinkcity This is the shocking story of a 20-year-old Japanese tourist who was raped by her guide in Jaipur, the Pink City as reported in japantoday.com dated 10 February 2015. This is yet another sex attack on a foreign tourist in India and creates embarrassment for those who swear by the ‘Incredible India’ campaign that invites tourists to visit India to enjoy her rich heritage.
As per reports, the tourist had met the accused near a hotel after arriving in Jaipur. The 25-year-old man introduced himself as a tour guide and agreed to take her around the city on her motorbike during the day.
They also went to a few places after which they took some food and he had laced the food with drugs. Later the accused offered to drop her at the hotel in the evening but, instead, took her to a desolate area and committed the crime. The screams of the victim alerted the locals and the man fled.
The woman has undergone medical examination and is helping the police to identify the rapist. The Japanese embassy was also gathering information about the attack.
Obviously, this shameful incident is another blow to the country’s tourism industry. Britain and France have already revised their travel advisories for India last January and has warned tourists headed for India about the risk of sexual attacks following several instances of rape of foreigners.
