Website article on Assam Rape Festival sparks protests

"The details in the article are gruesome to the point of being demonic and the writer of such a piece of pure evil is not fit for human society," the statement said.

Amidst protests in the state, the CID's cyber crime cell has taken up suo moto investigations into the website article which was found to have been sourced from Uganda and hosted from Houston in the US, the sources said.

The article published last week on website NationalReport.Net claimed that the annual "Assam Rape Festival" that "began in 43 BC" was about to begin in "just days away".
