                   Third Suspect Arrested in Indian Gang Rape

   by VOA News

   Indian police say they have arrested a third man in connection with the
   gang rape of a female photojournalist in Mumbai.
   Another suspect was arrested earlier Saturday. The first suspect was
   arrested Friday.
   Officials say five men attacked the woman while she was photographing
   an abandoned textile mill, along with a male colleague. The male
   journalist was reported to have been tied up while the assault on the
   woman took place. Authorities are still searching for the other two
   suspects.
   Medical officials say the victim of Thursday's attack, who is in her
   early 20s, is hospitalized in stable condition.
   The rape in Mumbai has evoked memories of a similar crime committed on
   a moving bus against a woman in December in New Delhi who later died of
   injuries sustained in the attack.
   After December's attack, which triggered nationwide protests, India
   passed laws increasing punishments for violence against women.
   The trial of attackers from December has not yet concluded.
   Thursday's incident was unusual because of its location. Mumbai is
   generally considered one of India's safest cities for women.
