New Delhi: In India, 2 sisters belonging to lower caste were killed after being gang-raped.
According to Indian media, 2 Dalit sisters were gang-raped by 6 accused persons in the city of Lakhampurkheri in the state of Uttar Pradesh and the bodies were hanged from a tree.
Police officials say that the bodies of the two Dalit sisters were found hanging from a tree in a field one kilometer away from the house. Instead of arresting the perpetrators of the gang-rape and murder of the Dalit sisters, the police accused the slain girls of going along with the perpetrators of their own free will.
The police did not file an FIR even on the continuous plea of the mother of the slain Dalit sisters, however, on the protest of the residents of the area, the police registered a report and claimed to detain 6 accused.
