What began as an adventurous journey for a Spanish tourist couple, spanning 63 countries and covering a staggering distance of 170,000 kilometers on motorcycles, took a nightmarish turn in the quiet corners of Dumka, Jharkhand.
Spanish Tourist Interrupted: From Adventure to Tragedy
Five years ago, the Spanish tourist couple embarked on a daring quest to explore the world on two motorcycles, with their sights set on traversing through Bangladesh, Bihar, and eventually reaching Nepal. However, their odyssey came to a screeching halt when tragedy struck in the form of a brutal gang-rape perpetrated by seven assailants while the couple was spending the night in a makeshift tent.
The victim, a 28-year-old woman, took to social media to share her ordeal, accompanied by chilling images depicting the aftermath of the horrific assault. Her face bore the scars of physical trauma, but it was the psychological anguish of fearing for their lives that left the deepest scars.
