A mother and her young daughter have allegedly been gang-raped by six men 'in revenge' for dishonour to one of the attacker's relatives.

Police said that the men raped the women in the Champaran district of Bihar, northern India because the mother's son had eloped with one of their sisters.

It is believed that the victims were kidnapped from Sariswa village and taken to one of the attacker's houses.

According to the police, they believed the boy's mother knew about the couple's whereabouts, but would not reveal it to them. The couple reportedly went missing in January and have not been traced since.

A medical examination of the two women confirmed that they were raped on April 18. The police said they arrested the suspects within 36 hours of the complaint being lodged.

Rape arrests have become a contentious issue in India in the past few months, as they face accusations that they do not take the crime seriously enough.

This rape is the latest in a serious of high profile incidents that have shocked India - afive-year-old is still recovering this week from being gang-raped in Delhi.
