A fashion shoot by a Mumbai-based photographer depicting a model being groped by men on a bus in a setting chillingly similar to the 2012 Delhi gang-rape, has caused outrage on social media.<br /><br />Raj Shetye's series of photographs titled "The Wrong Turn" show a woman fighting off men inside a bus; in one particularly appalling image, she is shown struggling between two men, one of them bent over her leg in an aggressive posture.<br /><br />The link for the photos, which went viral on Twitter and Facebook, has been deleted after angry reactions and is now redirected to an error page. <br /><br />In an interview to Buzzfeed.com, Mr Shetye has denied that he based his shoot on incidents of 16 December, 2012, when a young medical student was raped and tortured by six men on a moving bus. The 22-year-old woman, who came to be known as "Nirbhaya" or fearless, died 16 days later of horrific injuries.<br /><br />"It is not based on Nirbhaya. But being a part of society and being a photographer, that topic moves me from inside. I stay in a society where my mother, my girlfriend, my sister are out there and something like this can happen to them also," the photographer was quoted by Buzzfeed as saying.<br /><br />Mr Shetye said he didn't glamorize the incident; the photo shoot was a way of 'throwing light' on the gang-rape and to show that it can happen to anyone, no matter "which class she belongs to."<br /><br />The photographer has been slammed on twitter for the shoot described by many as "extremely insensitive and sickening".<br /><br /><br />For More information on this news visit : http://www.newsx.com/<br />Connect with us on Social platform at : http://www.facebook.com/newsxonline<br />Subscribe to our YouTube Channel : http://www.youtube.com/newsxlive
