Police in India arrested three people for allegedly gang-raping a 22-year-old Japanese research academic
near a Buddhist pilgrimage centre in eastern India, officials said on Friday.
Police were looking for two more suspects who also allegedly kept the Japanese woman as a hostage
for nearly three weeks in a village near Bodh Gaya, a town 80 miles south of Patna, the capital of Bihar state,
officer Akhilesh Singh said.
The woman managed to escape on 26 December and reached her base at Kolkata, where she filed a police complaint.
She has been studying life in rural India for some time, Singh said.
A Kolkata-based tourist guide had taken the Japanese woman to Bodh Gaya to show her the Buddhist pilgrimage centre
where Gautama Buddha is said to have obtained enlightenment under a tree.
He was joined by four others in keeping her in captivity and raping her, police said.
Two of the arrests were made in the area on Friday and one took place earlier this week in Kolkata, police added.
India has a long history of tolerance of sexual violence, but a series of high-profile rape cases have triggered
strong public outrage in recent years, leading to tougher anti-rape laws.
India has doubled prison terms for rapists to 20 years and criminalised voyeurism, stalking and the trafficking of women.
The law also makes it a crime for police officers to refuse to open cases when complaints are made.

■デタラメ論文で発覚したジェンダー学の欺瞞
英紙「Daily Mail」（5月24日）によると、米ポートランド州立大学の哲学者ピーター・ボグホシアン教授と
ジェームズ・リンゼイ教授は、全く無意味な論文（タイトル「社会構築物としてのコンセプチュアル・ペニス」）をでっちあげ、
「高品質な査読審査を提供する」と謳う、英社会科学ジャーナル「Cogent Social Sciences」に投稿。
その結果なんと、同論文は査読審査を通過し、掲載されてしまったというのだ！
気になる内容の方は非常に難解で、一昔前に流行したフランス現代思想ばりのナンセンスなジャーゴンが書き散りばめられている。
たとえば、「gender-performartive（ジェンダー行為遂行的）」、「high fluid social construct（高流動社会的構築物）」、
「exclusionary to disenfranchised communities（公民権被剥奪諸共同体への排除）」、
「isomorphic to performative toxic masculinity（行為遂行的有害男性性と同型的な）」など。
