A
woman who was washed ashore alive after attempting to drown herself
alongside her parents and four sisters claims she was raped by two
fisherman who found her lying unconscious on the beach.
The
victim and her family had attempted a mass suicide on December 18 after
they were evicted from their home in Puducherry, India.
Two
of the sisters and the mother drowned while the two other sisters, the
victim and the father were washed ashore at different locations along
the coast.

The
victim, who was found around a kilometre from the scene of the suicide
attempt, says she was raped while lying unconscious on the shore.
Police
reviewed security camera recordings from hotels and guesthouses in the
area and noticed two men acting suspiciously at the time of the attack.
The
two suspects, identified as crabcatchers S Raja, 35 and his relative K
Vijaykumar, 32, from Pillaichavadi, Villupuram district, Tamil Nadu,
were arrested the next day.
Senior superintendent of police V J Chandran c;laims they have confessed to raping the woman.
The
family had been living in an ashram, a type of small monastery that are
common across India, when they were evicted following a Supreme Court
order.
India
is fighting an endemic rape culture which first came to international
attention brought in 2012 by the shocking case of a woman who died after
being gang raped in New Delhi.

The
country brought in tougher laws last year against sexual offenders
after the fatal gang-rape of a student in New Delhi in December 2012,
but they have failed to stem the tide of violence against women.
A
survey published last week said 91 per cent of women also saw no
improvements in safety despite a slew of measures rolled out in the
aftermath of the attack including improved policing, women's helplines
and fast-track courts as well as the new law.
The
survey by the Hindustan Times newspaper of 2,557 women also found that
97 percent had been victims themselves of some kind of sexual
harassment.

A
monkey turned life-saving hero after spending 20 minutes resuscitating
his friend who had suffered an electric shock at an Indian railway
station and was in danger of being run over by a train.
The
unlucky victim had been climbing on high tension overhead cables when
he zapped himself unconscious and landed in a heap on the tracks.
Things
were looking grim until another monkey sprang into action hauling his
friend up, shaking him, dunking him in water and even biting him on the
head in a desperate bid to bring him round.

Wake up: The Primate paramedic spent around 20 minutes trying to revive his stricken friend
But
still the wounded animal refused to wake up forcing the primate
paramedic to take the drastic action of dunking him in a pool of water
next to the tracks.
Happily
that seemed to work and after some 20 minutes out cold the wounded
monkey slowly opened its eyes while his friend hauled him off to a safe
spot moments before a train pulled in.
Delighted
commuters standing on the platform at the station in India's northern
city of Kanpur filmed the action on mobile phones and cheered as the
rescue unfolded.
And
as if saving his life wasn't enough the hero monkey even treated his
friend to an impromptu grooming session by the side of the tracks.
