They stopped the bike and took her to a desolate place by the roadside where they took turns to rape her

    There’s a ton more to it than that, for example:

    Martial rape is not considered a crime in India

    Rape is legally considered exclusively an act done by a man to a woman, therefore counts exclude raped committed against men

    Finally due to stigma in the country and the judicial system often trying to shelter men who commit assault, cases go under-reported and under-prosecuted, lessening the count.

      Yeah, that kind of sounds like my point. The us number is inflated by all the groping and flashing or whatever, and the India number is heavily deflated by only counting what gets reported and recorded as rape.
