A nine-year-old Russian girl has been raped on a Goa beach.
The child was with her mother on Arambol Beach in North Goa on Tuesday evening when two Indian men approached them.
While one person began chatting with the mother, another ventured in the water where the victim was playing and raped her," police inspector Uttam Raut Desai told PTI.
The child reappeared later, and complained to her mother of bruises in her private parts.
"The medical examination has confirmed rape," Desai said.
In a statement given to the police, the girl's mother has claimed that one of the persons, who was chatting with her identified himself as 'Aman' and was a domestic tourist.
In December, another Russian citizen alleged that she was raped by a local politician, John Fernandes. That case turned into a major controversy, with the police mishandling the investigation. As policemen insisted they couldn't find Fernandes, he appeared on NDTV for a lengthy interview. (Read: Russian rape victim offered money for silence) He later surrendered to the police. The CBI is investigating this case. The Goa government was embarrassed by the police's investigation. The state's Tourism Minister said Goa had turned into the country's "rape capital".
