India Gang Rapes:Outrage Over'Police Discrimination

There is outrage over police inaction in a village in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh where two teenage girls were gang raped and hanged from a tree.

The father of one victim said he was ridiculed by policemen when he sought help in finding his missing daughter. He said when the policemen found out he was from a lower caste, they refused to look for my girl.

At least three men, including one policeman, have been arrested in connection with the incident. The victims families have complained that police had refused to help find the missing girls, aged 14 and 16. India has numerous castes and divisions among them run deep.
