The alleged victim has since been admitted to SMS Hospital in Jaipur. Her family submitted a memorandum to authorities on Friday, demanding action. 
A woman was allegedly tortured and gang-raped by seven police officers while being illegally detained in India.

The 35-year-old had her nails pulled out during the ordeal while she was being held at Sardarshahar Police Station in Rajasthan's Churu district, her husband claims.

He also alleged that his 22-year-old brother Nemichand was murdered while being held at the same police station.

A judicial inquiry has since been ordered and officers involved have been suspended, the Times of India reported.
Sunil Kranti, a social activist assisting Nemichand's family, has called for justice.

'We demand stern action against the accused policemen.

'This is the cruel face of police and we will be holding a statewide protests to make sure the victim family gets justice,' he said.
Officials claimed that Nemichand was arrested on theft charges on July 6 and admitted to hospital where he died that night.

But Nemichand's brother denies this, alleging he was picked up by authorities on June 30 and kept in illegal detention, before being murdered six days later, to which his sister-in-law was a witness.

The brother has alleged his wife had shown signs of torture when she was released, including being beaten, her nails pulled out, and that she had been gang raped by the officers.

More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
