How can this happen in India?
The father of S African model, who was raped in Mumbai, says he's struggling to come to terms with the incident.
The father of the South African model, who was allegedly raped in Mumbai last week, has said he was trying to "come to terms" with the incident and was shocked that it had taken place in India.
The 59-year-old businessman, who owns a string of supermarket chain stores in the Durban area, holding back tears, told reporters that his daughter had contacted him about the incident.
He said "I am struggling to come to terms with the incident."
"I couldn't take it in a place like India. It's such a nice place. I've been there. The place is very safe."
He said his daughter at first was reluctant to tell him what had happened but then disclosed the trauma she had to undergo.
He is expected to leave for India sometime next week to be with his daughter.
The victim, aspired to make it big in the world of glamour, came to Mumbai after her father encouraged her to make a career in Bollywood, sources said.
