"We helped police whenever they approached us, but no appropriate action has been taken against the five accused persons.

"They (the accused persons) are moving freely. Even we are not aware when the police will arrest them," he added.

Meanwhile, the victim was not happy with the way Delhi Police was handling the case, he said.

Terming rape a serious problem in India and that she will not travel alone here again, the woman said she felt that "there should be a stronger law for protecting tourists from rape in India".
