Police in southern India said Saturday that they arrested two men in connection with allegations of gang rape of an Israeli and a local woman.

Hundreds of foreign tourists have left a Unesco heritage site in southern India in the past few days after two women - an Israeli tourist and an Indian homestay owner - were gang-raped and a man was murdered.
