In January 2009, a 24-year-old Dutch woman complained to the Goa police that she was drugged, robbed and raped by a group of Nigerians on the New Year's eve near the Anjuna beach in Goa.
February 2008 saw the Sacrlett Keeling case in news. Scarlett's body was found in a half-naked state at the Anjuna beach. The police initially said it was a case of suicide. But the victim's mother launched a campaign for justice which attracted international spotlight and exposed this tourist destination's ugly underbelly.
In March 2008, an Australian tourist alleged rape by an engineering student in Karnataka's Gokarna region. The student allegedly forced his way into a beach side shack rented by the 28-year-old Australian woman and raped her.
In January five were convicted for raping a 20-year-old German tourist in Chandigarh in September 2007. They kidnapped the woman from outside a five star hotel on September 28, 2007 and took her to a farmhouse in Haryana's Samalakha area where she was gang raped.
