India is one of the safest places on earth in some respects.
Well the roads may not be safe but violent crime is unusual. I would much prefer to be in Bangalore than Los Angeles or any American city.
It is my guess that CNN just made a false statement online. I think it will be corrected today. They said
The Times Of India said 126 foreigners have died in Goa over the last two years and in January this year a 30-year-old British woman was raped
I am almost certain that this is not accurate so I hope they correct this soon.
