An Indian minister says she made rape suspects beg for their lives and ordered police to torture them.
Uma Bharti, the water resources minister, claims she told the men's accusers to watch as they were hung upside down.
"Rapists should be tortured in front of victims until they beg for forgiveness," she said.
Ms Bharti made the comments while campaigning for a local politician in Agra, in Uttar Pradesh state.
