{{An Indian fashion shoot showing a woman being groped on a bus has caused anger, with social media users saying it glamorises the 2012 Delhi gang rape.}}<\/p>\n

Photographer Raj Shetye’s images show a model fighting off men on a bus, in a scene reminiscent of the rape and murder that shocked India.<\/p>\n

Many social media users said they found the photos “disgusting” and “horrible”.<\/p>\n

Mr Shetye said the shoot was “just a depiction of the situation of women in our country” and not based on the rape.<\/p>\n

The photos were taken down from the Behance site after angry reactions on Twitter and Facebook.<\/p>\n

The gang rape and murder of the 23-year-old physiotherapy student – dubbed Nirbhaya (fearless) by the media – led to days of protests and forced the authorities to introduce tough new anti-rape laws.<\/p>\n

Four men were sentenced to death. A fifth, a juvenile at the time of the crime, is serving a three-year sentence.<\/p>\n

‘Disgusting, insensitive’<\/p>\n

Mr Shetye, a Mumbai-based photographer, published his photofeature The Wrong Turn last week, prompting widespread criticism on social media.<\/p>\n

“Did I just see a fashion-spread depicting the Delhi gang rape of Nirbhaya? Disgusting! I hope all associated, die of shame! Insensitive swine!,” Bollywood music director Vishal Dadlani tweeted. “Whoever you are… I hope you go to jail for this,” he added.<\/p>\n
