Sunitha Krishnan, a women's rights and an anti-trafficking activist who runs an NGO in Hyderabad, received two separate videos recently.
The videos on WhatsApp show five smiling men gang-raping a women. They take turns to rape the women even as she begs them to let her go.
Krishnan told NDTV, "Ten seconds into the video, I was overcome. I had to stop as I needed to throw up," she told NDTV.
She said an acquaintance alerted her to the videos after receiving them on WhatsApp.
Krishnan who is herself a gang-rape survivor said she is determined to find the men and get them arrested. She asked her husband, a filmmaker to edit the video to protect the woman's identity, but highlight the faces of the men who raped her.
The edited video was posted on YouTube yesterday to start a national campaign to shame the rapists.
This morning, minutes after she appeared on NDTV to announce the #ShameTheRapistCampaign, her car was stoned.
The video is believed to be at least six-months old, but if you have seen the men, Krishnan asks to be informed at sunitha_2002@yahoo.com.
