00:00A Spanish influencer couple was brutally attacked in India by a group of seven men.
00:04The wife was dragged into a small forested area and assaulted for three hours,
00:09while the husband was tied up, helplessly watching.
00:11What happened next shocked even more people.
00:14Three days later, the Indian authorities offered them just 11,000 euros in compensation.
00:19Here's how it all began.
00:21The couple had just completed a 170,000 kilometers motorcycle journey around the world,
00:26and were camping near a forest in Jharkhand, India.
00:29As the sun was setting, they pitched their tent as usual, unaware of the danger creeping in.
00:34At around 7 p.m., they heard voices in a local dialect outside their tent.
00:38The husband Vincent peeked out and saw two men on the phone.
00:42Assuming they were just curious locals, a common occurrence on their trip, they didn't think much of it.
00:47But what they didn't know was that phone call was summoning something far more sinister.
00:51Half an hour later, the roar of engines shattered the night.
00:54Several motorcycles surrounded their tent.
00:56Seven men got off and shouted, hello friends, before Vincent could even reply, he was pinned down by three of them.
01:03Both he and his wife were quickly restrained.
01:05Since the attackers didn't speak English, the couple handed over all their cash, hoping it would end there.
01:10But the men had other plans, their eyes were already on the wife.
01:14Helpless, the husband watched as his wife was dragged into the woods.
01:18For 180 minutes, the assault continued.
01:21When it was over, the attackers stole their camera equipment and left, laughing.
01:26Still in shock, covered in dirt and DNA evidence, the couple drove 80 kilometers to the nearest city to report the crime.
01:32But when they arrived, the local police were dismissive and evasive.
01:36So the couple took their story online.
01:38It quickly went viral and pressure mounted on Indian authorities.
01:42But the first reaction of the police wasn't to arrest the attackers, it was to storm the hospital and force the couple to delete the video, claiming it was interfering with the investigation.
01:52Then, in a move even more absurd, authorities placed them in a so-called safe house.
01:57But in reality, it was to silence them, guarded 24-7s, not allowed to leave.
02:02Then came the bizarre twist.
02:03The Indian administration handed them 11,000 euros as hush money.
02:07Suddenly, in front of the cameras, the husband smiled awkwardly and said, India is a kind and great country.
02:14We were just unlucky.
02:15His wife, however, sat like a ghost, pale, silent, and visibly broken.
02:20Satisfied with the couple's statement, the Indian authorities let them leave.
02:24They immediately flew back to Spain, but once home, they released a full documentary revealing everything, exposing the truth.
02:30India found itself deeper in controversy, accused of covering up a serious violation of human rights.
