Indian police have arrested five men for the alleged kidnap and rape of a Japanese woman.

The 23-year-old tourist says three of them made friends with her in Kolkata and took her around eastern India, then stole over a thousand U.S. dollars from her.

She says two other men joined them at one point and raped her.

Sexual violence in India has been in the spotlight since a student was gang-raped and killed in New Delhi two years ago.
