India – Four Indian men were arrested for gang-raping a monitor lizard.
The “shocking” news actually happened in India. Indian media reported on April 13 that four Indians who are also hunters were arrested on suspicion of raping a Bengal monitor lizard in a tiger sanctuary in Maharashtra.
The men have committed heinous crimes, The local forest managers tracked the men through surveillance video and found them gang-raping the monitor lizard and recorded it on their mobile phone.
India Today reported that：”In addition to sexually assaulting the Bengal monitor lizard, the Indian police also found pictures of raping rabbits, porcupines, deer and other animals in the mobile phone of the arrested man.”
According to reports, the Bengal monitor lizard is one of the most protected species in India. If convicted, the hunters could be sentenced to seven years in prison.
The authorities say that they will be given the maximum penalty.
A nasty comment circulated in social media stating “in India, the female mosquitoes have to cover their buttocks when they fly over” is really not an exaggeration.
