Indian teenager shot dead posing for TikTok video

NEW DELHI - An Indian teenager was shot dead by a relative as they posed with a homemade gun to record a clip for the TikTok video sharing app, police said on Thursday (June 13).

The 17-year-old man and four of his family members - including an 11-year-old cousin - were in a hotel room in western Maharashtra state when one of them accidentally pulled the trigger, police said.

"We have arrested two of the accused and charged them with murder and attempted murder," police officer Anil Katke told AFP.

"Two others are on the run", he said, adding an investigation had been launched.

He said the four panicked and threatened the hotel staff with the pistol before fleeing.

India briefly banned the video-sharing app TikTok in April, but reinstated it after a court challenge.

Many Indian lawmakers have criticised the platform for what they call promoting "obscenity" and "cultural degradation".

But it remains one of the most popular apps in India, with some 300 million users.

Outrage at acquittals in rape cases sparks calls to fix Japanese law

TOKYO - Ms Miyako Shirakawa was a 19-year-old college student when she was raped by an older man. She said that when the attack started, her mind went blank and she froze up.

"When I became aware, he was on top of me," said Ms Shirakawa, 54, now a psychiatrist who treats sexual abuse victims.

That type of response "is a common, instinctive reaction - it's a form of psychological self-protection," added Ms Shirakawa, who became pregnant because of the rape, which she didn't report to police, and had an abortion.
