A Japanese student was allegedly gang raped by five men who kidnapped her and subjected her to more than a month of sexual abuse in eastern India.
The 23-year-old woman was lured to a house near a Buddhist shrine in Bihar state in November by a tour guide, where she says she was raped by five men.
After a month, the men are said to have taken her for medical treatment in a nearby town where she escaped and made her way to Calcutta.
Five Indian men have been arrested in connection with the alleged abduction and gang rape. This includes tour guide brothers Sajid Khan, 32, and his 25-year-old brother Jawed Khan, police deputy superintendent Alok Kumar Singh said.
'One of the men spoke very fluent Japanese,' Pallav Kanti Ghosh, a Calcutta police commissioner, told the BBC.
'They said: "We are guides and want to take you sight-seeing."
'They took her to Digha (a beach resort) on 23 November. There they sexually assaulted her and robbed her of 76,000 rupees [£1,200] using her ATM card.'
The Japanese tourist was held hostage at gunpoint in an underground room close to the shrine from, according to a preliminary investigation by detectives.
Three weeks later she was taken to Gaya, a larger town 10 miles away, for medical treatment, where she escaped.
She made her way to Calcutta and sought help at the Japanese consulate on December 26.
The Bodh Gaya complex is home to one of the earliest Buddhist temples still standing in India and attracts visitors from all over the world.
India has faced intense scrutiny over its efforts to curb violence against women following the fatal gang rape of a medical student on a bus in Delhi in 2012.
