Israeli tourist and local woman raped in India: police

The assailants pushed the men into a river canal before raping the women, he said. 

Two of the men, including a US citizen, survived and the third man's body was recovered on Saturday morning.

Police have arrested two of the men accused of the attack and were carrying out further investigations, Arasiddi said.

Attacks on women in India gained international attention last year after the brutal rape-homicide of a junior doctor at a hospital in the eastern city of Kolkata, sparking outrage and protests across the country over a lack of safety for women.
