UK revises India travel advisory
Hindustan Times  January 17, 2014
Last Updated: 08:17 IST(17/1/2014).

Excerpts:

and cities show that foreign women are also at risk.
 
It adds: British women have been the victims of sexual assault in Goa,
Delhi, Bangalore and Rajasthan and women travellers often receive unwanted
attention in the form of verbal and physical harassment by individuals or
groups of men.

Stay Out Of Trouble Abroad

  Possession or distribution of drugs can
  lead to long prison sentences.
