Karnataka Crime News:-A shocking and horrifying crime has come to light from Karnataka, where an Israeli tourist and an Indian woman were gang-raped near the Sanapur Lake close to Hampi. Along with this, the attackers also assaulted the women and three male tourists who were accompanying them. The incident took a tragic turn when the attackers threw the three male tourists into a canal, resulting in the death of one tourist.
How the Incident Unfolded
According to the police, the brutal attack took place on Thursday night around 11 PM. A 29-year-old Indian woman, who runs a homestay, was spending time with an Israeli tourist and three male tourists near Tungabhadra canal close to Sanapur Lake. They were playing guitar and enjoying music when three men on a motorcycle approached them.
The attackers asked them about a petrol pump in the area. When the homestay owner told them that there was no petrol pump nearby, the men demanded ₹100 from them. When she refused, the attackers insisted again. One of the male tourists from Odisha eventually gave them ₹20 to avoid any trouble.
However, the three men started arguing and then threatened to attack them with stones. The situation quickly escalated when the tourists refused to give more money. The attackers, who were speaking in Kannada and Telugu, verbally abused the group and then suddenly turned violent.
Brutal Assault and Tragic Death
As per the complaint filed with the police, the attackers brutally assaulted the three male tourists and pushed them into the canal. While two of them managed to escape with injuries, the third tourist went missing. Later, the police found his dead body on Saturday night.
The attackers then turned towards the two women, dragged them away, and brutally gang-raped them. The Indian woman was also beaten severely, leaving her badly injured. Along with committing rape and assault, the accused robbed the victims—they took away two mobile phones, ₹9,500 cash, and the woman’s bag before fleeing the spot.
