A man in the capital city of Uttar Pradesh, India, has died after the driver of a private ambulance took him off of life support and threw him out of the vehicle so he would have the opportunity to rape his wife.

According to The Times of India, the incident occurred late last month after the woman hired the emergency vehicle to escort her, her brother, and her husband home after he was discharged from a hospital in Lucknow due to financial limitations.

Speaking with police, the woman explained that on the way home, the emergency vehicle driver asked her to sit in the front seat next to him to avoid being stopped by police.

“I was forced to sit in the front seat, and then the driver and his companion started molesting me. I objected, but they did not listen to me,” she said, adding that her husband and brother sensed something was wrong and began trying to intervene from the back of the ambulance.

As a result, the men stopped the ambulance near the Chhawani police station, where they “forcibly removed the oxygen mask from [the woman’s] husband and threw him out” of the car before locking her brother in the front and proceeding to molest her.

In addition to sexually assaulting her, the woman also informed police that the men looted over $120 USD from her purse, jewelry, her identification card, and her husband’s hospital reports.

      Doesn’t mean schools are dangerous.

      But, schools are dangerous…that’s why we need to do something about the gun violence, if it wasn’t actually dangerous then there would be no need to address the root of the problem.

        Just because it isn’t dangerous to the average individual does not mean it isn’t a problem and something that should not be happening.

        The entire point of this thread is that from an outsiders perspective, you’re only going to see the news articles and form biased opinions. You’re going to see “Oh wow, the US has a lot of school shootings, schools must be super dangerous!”, meanwhile there were 82 deaths from school shootings last year out of 49.4 million students, or 0.000165% of the student population. Even looking at injuries, we only get to 0.00054%.

        Is that number too high? Fuck yes. Any number of children injured or dying due to violence is unacceptable. It’s disgusting and the lack of response from our leadership is abhorrent. But are schools in the US dangerous because of this? Absolutely not.
