Spanish Travel Vloggers Assaulted, Gang Raped In India During Motorcycle Tour Of Globe

A couple from Spain who cultivated a following documenting their travels by motorcycle have revealed that they suffered a horrific attack while passing through India. Vincente and Fernanda, known to their audience as Vuelta Al Mundo En Moto (Around The World By Motorbike), released a somber video from a hospital in India explaining that they had been assaulted, robbed, and that Fernanda had been gang raped.

Vincente and Fernanda have travelled to over 60 countries since beginning their journey from Barcelona 5 years ago, racking up over 170,000 kilometers as they jaunted the world on their motorbikes. The couple, who are also brand ambassadors for KLIM Motorcycles, have gathered 122,000 followers on Instagram documenting their journey, meals, and experiences as they trek across continents.

But their journeys through South Asia took a disturbing turn yesterday after the couple uploaded two stories to their Instagram revealing that they had been assaulted while traveling in India.

In the first video, posted on March 1, Fernanda and Vincente are seen with ample bruising and swelling on their face, as both look on the cusp of tears. In a statement given to Spanish media, they revealed that they had been assaulted after visiting the Dumka district of India’s Jharkhand state – a well-known tourist destination.

The couple had been making their way to Nepal via Bhagalpur, but had stopped in Dumka to rest and pitch their tent near the Hansdiha market. After falling asleep, 7 young men broke into the tent and assaulted them both.

“They beat us. They put a knife to my neck, and told me they were going to kill me,” Vincente says in one of the videos, his lower lip swollen and appearing to be stitched up. “Fernanda was raped. Seven of them. Seven men. Sons of bitches…”

While Vincente has a number of bruises on his head, the side of Fernanda’s face appears to have taken a far worse beating, with dark red marks on her cheek and jawline.
