An Indian photographer gang-raped in Mumbai in a case that shocked the country collapsed in court on Thursday while she was testifying against her alleged attackers, reports said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 22-year-old had taken the stand to recount her ordeal that took place in an overgrown and abandoned mill compound in central Mumbai in August<\/strong>, while she was out on assignment taking photographs.<\/p>\n

The woman was giving evidence in the trial of four men accused of raping her<\/strong>, while a fifth juvenile accused is being tried separately.<\/p>\n

Nikam described her as “confident (and) articulate” but at times “tense” and requesting small breaks in her testimony, PTI reported.<\/p>\n

The attack sparked outrage in the financial hub Mumbai, which has long been considered safer for women than the capital New Delhi<\/strong>, where the fatal gang rape of a young student in December shook the nation.<\/p>\n

The four adults accused in the Mumbai case have been charged with offences including gang-rape, unnatural sex, illegal confinement, destruction of evidence and conspiracy.<\/p>\n

They also tied up and beat a male colleague accompanying the woman, police say.<\/p>\n

Last month, a court convicted four men and sentenced them to death over the Delhi gang rape.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 23-year-old victim died of grievous internal injuries on December 29 after she and her male companion were lured onto a bus and attacked by a gang of six on their way home from the cinema.<\/p>\n

We agree! Cut off their raping tool!<\/strong>
