India's new comic "super hero" Priya

BBC Local Radio - Manny Masih, India's new comic "super hero" Priya

Manny discusses a new comic book with a female rape survivor as its "super hero".

Manny discusses a new comic book with a female rape survivor as its "super hero" has been launched to focus attention on the problem of sexual violence in India.

Manny will have the latest on Shrien Dewani -- the businessman acquitted of having his bride murdered during their honeymoon in South Africa.  (We've heard this week that extra security has been brought in to protect the Dewani family home in Bristol after it was vandalised last on Thursday night).  Also, a new comic book with a female rape survivor as its "super hero" has been launched to focus attention on the problem of sexual violence in India.   We'll be looking into whether charities in the West supporting victims of domestic violence think it'll make much of a difference.  We'll be talking about an award winning project which links up police offers and drugs councillors to address social issues faced by youngsters and why they're using a game of cricket to do it.  Plus gossip from the world of Bollywood.
