Gaya, Jan 4 (IBNS): Days after a Japanese tourist was allegedly gangraped by five men in Gaya, Union Tourism Minister Mahesh Sharma has termed the incident as a dent on India's image.
In an interview to CNN-IBN, Sharma said that he would take up the case with the Home Ministry as soon as possible. 
 
He also said that they were working on issuing emergency numbers and dos and don'ts to foreign nationals who come to India.
 
The Kolkata Police on Friday arrested five people for allegedly gangraping a Japanese tourist last month.
 
The police have arrested three people from Kolkata and two from Bihar's Gaya city in connection with the case.
 
Speaking to media, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) P.K. Ghosh had said: "We have arrested three people from Kolkata and two from Gaya in Bihar."
 
"After the victim came here from Japan, she was taken to Digha in the name of local sight seeing...Two people had gangraped her  at Fattepur," he had said.
 
The culprits had also duped Rs. 76,000 from the victim, reports said.
 
The incident occurred in November last year.
