On the contrary, the abhorrent arguments forwarded by the State Government in defence of what it did (though it was more like what it did not do) after the rape are the reasons why the justice system keeps failing us.

Hathras may have become politically volatile but ASHOK K MEHTA does that mean the other two women have been less violated?

Even though bowing to pres- sure, the four accused men belonging to the upper caste were arrest- ed and are now in police custody, it was the callous attitude of the local police and the UP administration, which led to her sad end. Had the girl been from an upper caste family, the whole episode would have ended different.
