The incident comes as India continues to face internal and global scrutiny over the levels of sexual violence against women. Photo: Sajjad Hussain/AFPAn Indian chauffeur was arrested on Saturday after a German woman accused him of masturbating in front of her in an upscale New Delhi neighbourhood, police said. India faced international scrutiny over levels of sexual violence against women following the fatal gang-rape of a medical student in New Delhi in December 2012. But the country's sexual violence crisis continues unabated with nearly 100 rapes reported across the country every day despite the government bringing in stringent laws in 2013 to clamp down on sexual violence. The incident caused further outrage after the woman accused a police officer of refusing to take action against the voyeur following a complaint.
