Blindfolded, gangraped, cut with saw: US Congress hears tales of terror in Kashmir

Columnist Sunanda Vashisht described in heartbreaking detail the horrors faced by Kashmiri Hindus in 1990, while testifying at a US Congressional hearing on human rights on Thursday.

She spoke of a young woman, a lab assistant in a school, who she said was "abducted, blindfolded, gangraped and cut into two halves on a mechanical saw while still alive".

Vashisht also spoke of the man's wife, who was forced to eat the blood-soaked rice.
