"When being raped, she shouldn't fight back. She should just be silent and allow the rape. Then they'd have dropped her off after 'doing her', and only hit the boy."

In a shocking interview from jail for a BBC documentary, Mukesh Singh, one of the convicted gang members convicted has said that his victim, Jyoti Singh was to blame for her rape, her beating and her death.

The unrepentant murderer said, "A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy…You can't clap with one hand – it takes two hands.

"A decent girl won't roam around at 9 o'clock at night. A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy.

“Boy and girl are not equal.

“Housework and housekeeping is for girls, not roaming in discos and bars at night doing wrong things, wearing wrong clothes. About 20 per cent of girls are good."

Jyoti was raped by the gang of six men in 2012 and then brutally beaten with iron bars. Jyoti died from her injuries 2 weeks later.

Mukesh continued his unapologetic stance by claiming that Jyoti’s death was an accident.

"When being raped, she shouldn't fight back. She should just be silent and allow the rape. Then they'd have dropped her off after 'doing her', and only hit the boy."

India has faced much international scrutiny over sex attacks.

Recently six men were charged with kidnapping and gang-raping a 22-year-old Japanese tourist.

Two girl’s, aged 12 and 14, were found hanging from a mango tree after being sexually assaulted multiple times in northern Uttar Pradesh.

Ramsevak Paikra, the home minister of central Chhattisgarh state said, “Such incidents (rapes) do not happen deliberately. These kind of incidents happen accidentally.”

He added that rape was “sometimes right, sometimes wrong.”
