Five Indian anti-trafficking activists performing a street play were gang-raped at gunpoint in the eastern state of Jharkhand, police have confirmed.

The women were forced into cars and raped in a "secluded area", police told BBC Hindi.

Police say they are investigating the incident but have not made any arrests.

The women were working with a non-governmental organisation (NGO) to raise awareness about human trafficking in the remote Khunti district.

About 40,000 rape cases were reported in India in 2016.

Many cases, however, are believed to go unreported because of the stigma that is attached to rape and sexual assault.

What happened to the five women?
"After performing, they headed towards a local mission school," senior police official AV Homkar told BBC Hindi's Niraj Sinha.

"Around the same time, some armed people reached the school. They abducted five girls from their team and took them to a jungle and raped them. We have dedicated three teams of police to interrogate several people.

Another police official told BBC Hindi the five women were now safe under police protection, awaiting the results of medical tests.

Officials believe the rapists could be supporters of a group that that is extremely hostile to "outsiders" entering the region.

The group, which enjoys popular support among the district's tribal population, has even put up signs warning visitors about entering the area.


will india ever properly address these problems?

Five women went to a place that literally had signs up saying "Don't come into here, bad shit will happen."

They went into there.

Bad shit happened.

Did they DESERVE it? Of course not. Were the rapists justified? Of course not. But just like somebody who leaves their front door unlocked doesn't DESERVE to have their stuff stolen, let's be honest. Were they willingly putting themselves in a dangerous situation? Could they have taken simple preventive measures? Did they invite the situation? Yes, yes, and yes.

Nobody has a right to commit violent sex crimes just because they put a sign up, it's not justified to commit violent sex crimes just because you have the support of the community (which I find a bizarre notion) but holy hell, if I was walking down the street and saw a sign saying "If you keep walking down this block we will rape you" I'd turn the hell around.
