. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/pcy3h5j . .A fifth person has been arrested in relation to the gang-rape and murder of two cousins in northern India, police have said.
Officers made the latest arrest on Saturday amid growing criticism over a series of rapes. A police spokesman said three of the other arrested men were cousins in their 20s from an extended family, and had been charged with murder and rape, crimes punishable by death.
.There have been protests against the perceived police inaction and two officers have been arrested, with two more having been fired for failing to investigate when the father of one of the murdered girls reported them missing.
.But in a country with a long history of tolerance for sexual violence, the Uttar Pradesh state's top official mocked journalists for asking about the attack.
. snip .The gang-rape was the main story on Friday on India's relentless 24-hour news stations, and included video footage of the girls' bodies swaying from a mango tree where they were found hanged. But in the past few days, Uttar Pradesh has also been the scene of a brutal attack on the mother of a rape victim and the gang-rape of a 17-year-old girl by four men.
.Uttar Pradesh is India's most populous state, with nearly 200 million people. Official statistics say about 25,000 rapes are committed every year in India, a nation of 1.2 billion people. But activists say that the true figure is likely to be higher, as family or police often pressure women to keep quiet about sexual assaults.
.This week, the Indian government said it was going to set up a "rape crisis cell" after the series of brutal sexual attacks on women.
