The New York Times too reported the incident on April 7, 1991, in which it noted that “no single event has contributed more to this rapidly rising militancy among women than reports of a gang rape a month ago by Indian troops in Kunan".
Among them, the story of a woman named Bakhti, who was assaulted by six soldiers. “One by one, they raped me, while my five year old son was forced to watch, weeping beside the bed,” she told the paper.
On March 19th, the #UK newspaper 'The Independent' carried a report titled, ‘Indian villages tell of mass rape by soldiers’, based on anecdotes the reporters had heard in #KunanPoshpora.
