[Mugwop]

Mumbai: An American national was attacked and robbed of her mobile phone in the ladies' compartment of a local train here. The incident took place this evening between Marine Lines and Charni Road stations of Western Railway when an unidentified man boarded the ladies compartment and tried to snatch the bag of Michelle Mark, a United States national, police said.
When she resisted, he attacked her and after snatching her i-Phone he fled. Other passengers in the compartment took the woman to authorities at Mumbai Central station.
Meanwhile, a senior officer of Government Railway Police alleged that Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable as well as the station master refused to help the woman, who had received minor injuries on hand and face, and asked her to go to GRP office instead.
Under the law, both RPF personnel as well as station master are responsible for offering medical help, the GRP official said, adding that he would be reporting the matter to higher authorities. A case has been registered against the unidentified man and the woman was discharged from hospital after treatment.
The attacker was suspected to be a drug addict, police said adding, CCTV footage will be checked to ascertain his identity. On July 26 this year, another woman was attacked inside the ladies compartment near Mahalaxmi station when she resisted a molestation attempt by a man.

An American citizen was also robbed at knifepoint in Naples, Italy this morning. I am amazed that didn't make breaking news.

Crime takes place everywhere. This could have happened with a native indian also. Rather it is happening. So there is no point in being derogatory about it.

Italy doesn't have such a rampant rape problem like India does.

Italy also doesn't have a dictatorship like China does. What's your point? There is no allegation of rape in this article

Now Now !!! he has a one track mind . lets not try to steer him towards such silly things as the truth or reality

Italy doesn't have such a rampant rape problem like India does.

And neither does Italy have a full blown paranoia-induced 'Harmonious China' policy in its own country.

What are you trying to say?

I'll do a good deed today; I will agree with you Chinese so that you can live to see another day rather than be thrown in a 're-education' (concentration) camp.

the "rape problem" in india is an issue that is magnified by us indians and our media to improve our society. this is very different from china where such news are usually kept away from the state controlled media (a chinese women was arrested when she protested against CCP officials who gangraped her 12 year old daughter) or in pakistan where rapes are not reported since it is very frequent and almost legal

Information on violence against women in China is difficult to obtain because the government does not publish statistics. Independent organizations are not permitted to monitor the human rights situation in China. Hence, most of the information is to be found in Chinese and foreign press reports, as well as academic research. Government control over internal media, although changing somewhat as a result of the new economic climate, is still tight enough for observers to assume that on sensitive social and political matters, especially, Chinese press organs will only publish material that meets the approval of the government

Don't blame pakistan for your country's misfortune and misogynists.
I have been in pakistan and everything you said is BS.

crime/street theft does take place all over the world even in American cities but in civilized countries - onlookers intervene & police authorities record an FIR (or equivalent) rather than stare blankly and do nothing

bad enough she was beaten by the thug and was harmed

it's amazing how india doesnt care about its sinking reputation vis-a-vis violence against tourists - especially female ones
