Jaipur: A Japanese woman has levelled charges of rape against a hotel manager in the Pushkar district of Rajasthan.

The woman, in a fax sent to the Ajmer police, has alleged that she was raped by the manager Babloo on April 2 after being intoxicated with bhang.

She has also alleged that she was cheated and duped of Rs 54,000 on the pretext that Pushkar was not safe place for foreign tourists.

Though a First Information Report (FIR) has been filed against four people on charges of forgery and rape, police say they cannot make an arrest till they speak to the woman.

A police team has been dispatched to Agra to record the victim's statement.

This is the third case of a tourist rape in Rajasthan within one year.

A German tourist was raped by an autorickshaw driver, and another German scholar was raped by her colleague while on a trip to Alwar.

Both the accused were tried by fast-track courts in the Jaipur, were found guilty and were convicted.

Three rapes in one of India's most populous states within the space of a year seems outrageous. But we could post tourist/rape threads from now until eternity to no effect other than to create unneeded, unwarranted fear.

People should take every precaution to keep themselves safe. Period. Everyone knows this.

With only five minutes and google you can turn up stories of rape, pedaphilia, infanticide, dowry death, corruption, gangsterism, terrorism, women's faces burned by acid, farmers committing suicide, sati, human trafficking, child prostitution on the streets of the big cities, AIDS, torture of prisoners, every form of sexual predation and cruelty known to humankind--in India. These same stories can be had for Europe, the United States, Africa, anywhere in the world.

guess you are rite. we can as well delete this thread

but i found a pattern in lot of these cases, getting too close to people you hardly know. i wouldn't go on a weekend trip with someone i have met in a party. i wouldn't have had bhang with a hotel manager. i will not go to rickshaw pullers house to have hooch (this guy was badly beaten and duped in Agra 10 years back, never made headlines in any newspaper).

take care of these basic things and you should be safe in india.

I've been to India many times and I've also travelled alone but I must say that I feel so safe in India. Even safer than in Sweden which is a very safe country.
