After the incident, Fernanda and Vicente used social media to share their experience. They posted a video from an Indian hospital showing their injuries, which has now resurfaced online. Fernanda had visible bruises, and Vicente described the violence they faced. The pair uploaded a video describing the scary experience.
"Something has happened to us that we would not wish on anyone. Seven men have raped me, they have beaten us and robbed us, although not many things, because what they wanted was to rape me," read the caption on one video, which displayed Fernanda's bruised face.
"My face looks like this, but it's not what hurts me the most," she shared in one post, "Thank God we are alive".
"They beat us," Vicente said. "They put a knife to my neck, and told me they were going to kill me. Fernanda was raped. Seven of them. Seven men."
Very difficult video to watch.
