Rajasthan Dalit Rape Survivor

Police have booked a magistrate in Rajasthan's Karauli district for allegedly asking a Dalit rape survivor to strip to show her injuries, an officer said today.

Two weeks after the gang-rape of a woman in Rajasthan's Alwar, the National Commission for Scheduled Castes has asked for a criminal case against police officers who allegedly delayed acting on the woman's plea for help. The incident, after which a clip of the rape was circulated by the attackers, has provoked rage and protests across the state.
