Government pledges to set up 'rape crisis cell' after outcry over attack
on two teenage cousins who later hanged themselves
.
The Indian government has pledged to set up a "rape crisis cell" after a
spate of brutal sexual attacks on women.
.
snip
.
Angry relatives in the village of Katra accused the police of ignoring
their requests to search for the girls after they disappeared on Tuesday
evening, and protested by refusing to allow the bodies to be cut down from
the tree once they were discovered. Footage of the scene, widely broadcast
by Indian media, prompted outrage.
.
Villagers eventually allowed officials to take down the corpses after the
first arrests were made on Wednesday. Police subsequently arrested two
police officers and two men from the village, and were searching for three
more suspects. On Friday it was reported that two police officers had been
fired for failing to investigate the girls' disappearance.
.
Maneka Gandhi, minister for women and child welfare, said: "Police laxity
is equally responsible for the incident due to which two girls lost their
lives. Police are still not acting in the right direction. All policemen
involved in the incident should [have their employment] terminated."
.
Gandhi offered an inquiry by one of India's elite national investigative
bodies should the family want it. The office of Narendra Modi, who was
inaugurated as prime minister on Monday, has demanded a report on the
incident.
.
Vrinda Grover, a lawyer and activist, dismissed the idea of a rape crisis
cell as a "rehash for media consumption". She said: "This is an old idea
that they are just bringing out again to satisfy the national and
international media. There is no systemic effort to address the problem.
No government makes this issue a priority."
.
Authorities in Uttar Pradesh are already under pressure for their failure
to protect women amid a general deterioration in upholding law and order.
On Thursday three men were arrested on suspicion of a brutal assault on
the mother of a teenage rape victim in the town of Etawah after she
refused to withdraw her criminal complaint.
.
Campaigners say such incidents are common, with attempts to intimidate
witnesses frequent in all types of crime. Police often side with the most
powerful local figures or accept bribes to drop prosecutions.
