A mother and her young daughter have allegedly been gang-raped by six men 'in revenge' for dishonour to one of the attacker's relatives.

Police said that the men raped the women in the Champaran district of Bihar, northern India because the mother's son had eloped with one of their sisters.

It is believed that the victims were kidnapped from Sariswa village and taken to one of the attacker's houses.

According to the police, they believed the boy's mother knew about the couple's whereabouts, but would not reveal it to them. The couple reportedly went missing in January and have not been traced since.

A medical examination of the two women confirmed that they were raped on April 18. The police said they arrested the suspects within 36 hours of the complaint being lodged.

Rape arrests have become a contentious issue in India in the past few months, as they face accusations that they do not take the crime seriously enough.

This rape is the latest in a serious of high profile incidents that have shocked India - afive-year-old is still recovering this week from being gang-raped in Delhi.

印度频发强奸案引起全球媒体的关注，近日印度北部一对母女遭到了6名男子的轮奸，而更让人惊讶的是，性侵者据称是为了“报复”那名母亲的儿子与其中一人的妹妹私奔，令其“家门受辱”。

据报道，这对母女是在印度北部比哈尔邦查姆帕兰地区遭到袭击的。性侵者据信先是在将受害人绑架，然后将她们带到一名性侵者的家中，对她们实施了轮奸。两母女的身体检查报告显示，事发时间是在本月18日。

报道称，当地警方的办案人员这次“一反常态”，显得很认真，在案发后36小时后将嫌犯逮捕。受害母亲的儿子今年1月带女友私奔，直到目前女方家人仍无他们的行踪信息。警方初步调查显示，这名母亲知道儿子及其女友的藏身地点，但没有告诉性侵者，这才招致了祸端。

本月15日，一名5岁女孩在比哈尔邦的穆扎法尔纳格尔镇遭轮奸，此案在印度引发众怒，民众连日来不断举行游行示威，要求警察局长下台，严惩办案不力人员。
