British tourist leaps from hotel window to escape sex attack in India...

A British woman backpacking across Asia injured her leg after jumping from a hotel window because she feared an attempted sexual assault, police in Agra said.

The woman, a 32-year-old from South-East London, injured her leg in the fall and had to receive treatment for a torn ligament. She is currently under police protection.

The Foreign Office said it was urgently checking in to the incident, and said it was providing consular assistance to the woman. Just this morning the FCO had updated its travel advice for women in India, urging them to be cautious in the wake of the gang-rape of a Swiss tourist on Friday.

The British tourist had arrived in Udaipur, Rajasthan on Sunday. In Agra, home of the Taj Mahal, she booked into the Agra Mahal budget hotel in the city’s Army cantonment area.

 At around 4am the hotel’s manager, Sachin Johan, knocked on her door continually and demanded to be allowed into her room, police sources said. Full story...
