An 18-year-old Dalit woman from the southern India state of Kerala has accused 64 men of sexually abusing her since she was 13 years old.
Police have arrested 28 people in connection with the case so far – the men are in custody and have not made any public statement.
The accused, who range between 17 and 47 years of age, include the woman’s neighbours, sports coaches and her father’s friends, police told the BBC.
The woman reported the alleged abuse after a team of counsellors working under a government scheme visited her house.
