 "'People of India treated me very well': Foreign tourist who was gang-raped before leaving for Nepal")
After reportedly being the victim of a gang rape in the Dumka area of Jharkhand last week, a foreign visitor declared on Tuesday that she had no complaints against the Indian people because she has safely traveled over 20,000 km throughout the nation.
She would continue her world tour, she told reporters just before she and her husband rode off on their motorcycles from Bihar to Nepal.
“People of India are nice. I don’t blame the people, but I blame the criminals. People of India have treated me very well, and were very kind to me,” she said.
The 28-year-old lady was reportedly spending the night in a tent with her husband when she was gang-raped on Friday at Kurumahat in the Hansdiha police station area, around 300 kilometers from the state capital Ranchi, according to police.
“We chose the place for the night stay because it was calm and beautiful. We thought it would be okay if we lived there alone,” she said.
The woman said that she has been travelling for more than six years.
“We have been in India for the last six months and travelled around 20,000 km. We did not have any problems anywhere. This has happened for the first time,” she said.
“I have good memories from India,” she added.
The woman said that she would continue her tour along with her husband.

Dumka’s Superintendent of Police Pitamber Singh Kherwar said the couple left for Bihar, from where they will enter Nepal.
The survivor’s husband thanked the police for speedy action.
Three people have been arrested so far, and a search is on for the remaining four accused, police said.
