An Israeli tourist has been gang-raped in India, according to police reports.

The 25-year-old woman was attempting to travel from the resort of Manali, in the state of Himachal Pradesh, to a nearby town to meet friends.

At 3am on Sunday morning she flagged down a car which she mistakenly thought was a taxi, but accepted an offer of a lift, Indian media reported.

According to Padam Chand, a police superintendent in Manali, there were six men in the car, and two of them raped the tourist after stopping in a desolate spot.
