London, Oct. 28 -- A 20-year-old woman, locally identified as being of Indian heritage, was attacked in a "racially aggravated" rape in the West Midlands region of England over the weekend. Police said a 32-year-old man was arrested on Monday morning on suspicion of rape after a manhunt was launched in the wake of the attack on Saturday evening.
While the police are yet to confirm further details, local community groups have claimed that the victim is a Punjabi woman.
British Sikh MPs, Preet Kaur Gill and Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi, took to social media to express their shock and condemnation at a feared "repeated pattern" of violent attacks on women in the region. P11
