7 years after Delhi gang rape, brutal India attacks continue

Associated Press  

NEW DELHI — Days after an alleged gang-rape victim was set on fire, a note was left at the family home of an 18-year-old set to testify in her own case against a man she had accused of rape. “Consequences may be worse than what happened in Unnao,” the note read, alluding to the city in northern India where a woman was allegedly doused with gasoline and set ablaze by five men, including two she had accused of gang rape who were out on bail. The latest incidents come around the seventh anniversary of a gang rape on a moving bus in New Delhi that galvanized massive protests and inspired lawmakers to order the creation of fast-track courts dedicated to rape cases and stiffen penalties for those convicted of the crime. Her death came just a day after police fatally shot four men who were being held as suspects in the gang rape and murder of a 27-year-old veterinarian near southern India’s tech hub of Hyderabad. And that’s the pathetic reality of this country.” Those praising the police shooting contrasted it with the 2012 case in New Delhi — whose victim was dubbed “Nirbhaya,” or “Fearless,” by Indian media because rape victims can’t be identified under Indian law.
