A 20-year-old woman was gang-raped by five men while travelling with her husband in India.

During the horrific three-hour attack, the woman, who had been riding on a motorbike with her husband in Alwar, Rajasthan, was stopped by the alleged rapists and dragged into a ravine.

Following the sexual assault, the five perpetrators, who had filmed the entire attack, threatened to upload the video online if the couple reported the ordeal to the police.

Police in Rajasthan have now arrested all five accused of the brutal attack and a sixth person is being held by the authorities for uploading the video on social media.

Speaking of the horrific attack that was carried out on April 26, the rape survivor has now called on the Indian government to sentence her attackers to death.

She told The Times of India: 'I want all the five men who raped me, videotaped me even when I pleaded with them not to and changed our lives forever in ways in which I will have nightmares about, should be hanged.

'If there is any worse sentencing than that then it should be given to these five.'

Initially fearing that the gang would hurt her parents and family if she reported them, the woman, who belongs to the Dalit community in India, chose to remain silent about the assault.

However when footage of the attack began to emerge on social media, the woman and her husband decided to report the perpetrators to the police in the hope that no one else would face the horrific ordeal they had.

Describing the 'three hours of hell' they were put through, the woman's husband told how the five men forced him and his wife to remove their clothes before carrying out their attack.

He added that when he initially went to the police station to report the assault, he and his wife were told the case could not be dealt with as there were not any staff available due to the upcoming Indian elections.

Both the survivor and her husband have now said they refuse to be threatened by the gang, who are believed to be from the Gujjar community, any more and are seeking justice for the attack.

The survivors husband said: 'Now, I am not scared of anyone. We will continue the fight. Just getting them arrested is not the ultimate aim but it is to see them being given the death sentence.'

After the rape was reported inspector general of police of the Jaipur Range S Sengathir told Indian media that police had not tried to suppress the case.
