A man in the capital city of Uttar Pradesh, India, has died after the driver of a private ambulance took him off of life support and threw him out of the vehicle so he would have the opportunity to rape his wife.
According to The Times of India, the incident occurred late last month after the woman hired the emergency vehicle to escort her, her brother, and her husband home after he was discharged from a hospital in Lucknow due to financial limitations.
Speaking with police, the woman explained that on the way home, the emergency vehicle driver asked her to sit in the front seat next to him to avoid being stopped by police.
“I was forced to sit in the front seat, and then the driver and his companion started molesting me. I objected, but they did not listen to me,” she said, adding that her husband and brother sensed something was wrong and began trying to intervene from the back of the ambulance.
As a result, the men stopped the ambulance near the Chhawani police station, where they “forcibly removed the oxygen mask from [the woman’s] husband and threw him out” of the car before locking her brother in the front and proceeding to molest her.
In addition to sexually assaulting her, the woman also informed police that the men looted over $120 USD from her purse, jewelry, her identification card, and her husband’s hospital reports.
I would be careful using The Publica as a source (owned by Rumble). This is an extreme right leaning group. Jeremy Hambly is co-founder and a 30 second google shows he is a massive piece of shit.
Thanks for the heads up, I just saw the article pass by and found it interesting. I did check their source which is timesofindia. The source does contain everything mentioned in the article. Not sure how reliable timesofindia is as a newspaper though.
This could be an entirely factual story but still serve a propaganda purpose. Check out the stories they publish about India.

One true story is true, but when you curate which true stories get published you can still create a false narrative to push an agenda.
It sounds like these events happened. I would just be cautious with op. Right wing nut jobs like to paint India as a rape capital and all of its males.
Again, I’m not disputing that the events happened.
My point is that they pick and choose which events to show us. It’s a very selective lens meant to push an agenda.
There is a common theme about these abominable stories in India, they almost always happen in Uttar Pradesh. It’s like the Florida of India.
There’s like 250 million people living there which is close to the population of the whole US, so statistically you’re bound to get crazy stories.
There’s things happening in Uttar Pradesh other than gang rape, public defecation, and murder. We don’t hear those other stories in the West, though. In part it’s because bad news attracts eyeballs, but there is an agenda to present Indian men as savage monsters.
Why don’t you post about these stories then?
I don’t speak Hindi 🙄
Do you… actually think the only thing that happens in a city of 250 million is rape?
Literally every media outlet curates which stories it publishes, this is not unique to this website.
No shit, some media outlets curate stories based on whatever will make the most money.
And other media outlets curate stories to push an agenda.
I would say a massive red flag would be no author attached to the article. However, multiple outlets have cover the event with some providing more info. It is hard to tell credible source, a lot are bias but not as credible. They like to make shit up.
Just looked it up. Jeremy Hambly… of The Quartering. Didn’t realize he co-founded a media outlet. Thanks, now I know to avoid it.
