Gang-raped Indian girl commits suicide
Demonstrators react as police in New Delhi fire tear gas during a protest calling for better safety for women following the rape of a student, December 22, 2012.

An Indian teenager who fell victim to a gang rape has committed suicide, a police official says.
Inspector General Paramjit Singh Gill said on Thursday that the 17-year-old girl had been “running from pillar to post to get her case registered” but officers failed to register a rape complaint.
“One of the officers tried to convince her to withdraw the case.”
Meanwhile, the victim’s sister told the Indian television that police pressured the teenager to “either reach a financial settlement with her attackers or marry one of them.”
The teenager, who was reportedly gang raped on November 13 in the Patiala region in Punjab, was found dead on Wednesday night after swallowing poison.
There had been no reports of arrests before the teenager’s death, but three people were detained over the case on Thursday.
The incident comes amid the recent widespread protests in New Delhi over an incident where a 23-year-old medical student was raped by six men on a bus earlier in December.
Over the past days, thousands of angry protesters have taken to the streets and gathered near the Indian presidential palace, demanding better safety for women.
On Sunday, protesters marched on the presidential palace carrying banners that read, “We want justice,” and, “Hang the rapists.” Students also shouted anti-government slogans.
Reports say police used tear gas to disperse the demonstrators.
The protesters demanded the death penalty for all the seven suspects who are now under police custody.
Delhi is notorious for crimes against women, and using public transport at night or travelling alone is considered a great risk.
According to the National Crime Records Bureau, 522 rape cases were reported in Delhi and the National Capital Region in 2011. Over 650 rape cases have been reported in the capital so far this year.
People accuse the officers patrolling the capital’s streets of being insensitive toward sexual crimes and ignoring related complaints. They say the country’s slow judicial system also discourages women from making complaints. Meanwhile, only one third of accused rapists get punished.
Experts believe, unless there is severe punishment for rapists, the disastrous trend will never stop.

India Gang rape murders: President should quit in shame at his criminal son
India Gang rape Murders: President should quit in shame at his criminal son!

Shame on the leaders of India Govt who have let rapists add murder to their crimes:
Manmohan Singh failed to show that he really cared for all the women and right-minded people in India. He has yet to be heard or seen expressing any concern about the fact that in Manipur, north-east India the police shot dead a TV journalist covering one of the protest demos held against the violent sex attack in front of other people by an armed man on a young woman, the actress Momoko Khangembam.
Singh is an expert at muttering banal words and at hiding the awful reality that the huge mass of people in the vast country are beyond the protection of democracy that he, Singh claims to be delivering!
What kind of democracy is it that allows rapes and sexual violent murders to take place against women daily?
What kind of values does Manmohan Singh represent?
He has never spoken on the rights of women in the context of rapes of all kinds.
He has only done so because of the murderous attack on the 23 year and and more so because of the people coming out and demonstrating.
Manmohan Singh owes huge apologies to the women of India for the violations of decades. He must not be allowed to get away by muttering insulting words of “sympathy” that are contemptibly hypocritical. And the “President” of India must quit in shame because of his criminal son who has added insult to injuries by attacking women protesting against the murderous rapist gang!

IMPHAL, Dec 20 – The alleged molestation and assault of a popular young Manipuri actress rocked the last day of the ongoing Manipur Assembly session today.
Acknowledging the seriousness of the issue after it was brought up by Opposition leader Dr I Ibolhalbi Singh of the All India Trinamool Congress, Manipur’s Deputy Chief Minister Gai Khangam assured the House that the Government will take up necessary steps to book the culprits.
Manipuri film actor Momoko Khangembam in her early 20s was allegedly molested and assaulted by one Livingstone Anal who is said to be an NSCN-IM cadre while the actor was anchoring a music concert at the Chandel district HQ, on Wednesday night.
“The State forces in association with the Assam Rifles will coordinate in launching a combing operation to arrest the said culprit,”
Gai khangam, who also holds the Home portfolio, informed the Assembly today.
Earlier, Opposition leader Dr I Ibolhalbi Singh raising the issue during the zero hour, demanded justice in the alleged molestation and assault case.
Expressing serious concern over the incident, Manipuri film personalities under the banner Manipur Film Forum tried to storm the Assembly complex this morning. However they were prevented by the police party on duty.

India Police Kill Journalist reporting protests against sex attack on actress

Demonstrators in the capital, Delhi, have defied a protest ban and gathered for a second day of marches over the gang rape of a student
Police in north-east India have shot dead a journalist covering a protest over a sex attack on an actress.
The cameraman was "killed in police firing" when the marches in Manipur state turned violent, a police spokesman told the AFP news agency.
Meanwhile authorities in the capital, Delhi, have banned protests over the gang rape of a student, after clashes broke out on Saturday.
The rape, which has left the woman in a critical condition, has caused outrage.
As protesters gathered for a second day of marches in central Delhi despite the protest ban, anger over sex crimes also spread to Manipur, where film actress Momoko publicly spoke out about being assaulted last week.
Demonstrators took to the streets of the state's capital, Imphal, demanding the arrest of her attacker.
The journalist was shot dead after violence erupted between security forces and protesters.
Rising anger
Meanwhile riot police in Delhi have used tear gas and batons to keep demonstrators, mainly college students, from marching on President Pranab Mukherjee's palace for a second day.
Routes leading to landmark government building have been cordoned off, and some metro stations are closed, the Reuters news agency reports.
On Saturday, thousands of people took to the capital's streets, carrying placards reading "Hang the Rapists" and "Save women. Save India".
Violence erupted as demonstrators tried to break through police barricades to march on the palace.
The government has tried to halt the rising anger over the assault by announcing a series of measures intended to make Delhi safer for women.
They include more police night patrols, checks on bus drivers and their assistants and the banning of buses with tinted windows or curtains.
But the protesters say the government's pledge to seek life sentences for the attackers is not enough - many are calling for the death penalty.
The 23-year-old victim and her friend had been to watch a film when they boarded the bus in the Munirka area intending to travel to Dwarka in south-west Delhi.
Police said she was raped for nearly an hour, both she and her companion were beaten with iron rods and thrown out of the moving bus into a Delhi street.
Doctors said on Saturday that the woman remained in a critical but stable condition, but had been removed from a ventilator.
The attack has prompted a week of candle-lit vigils and demonstrations amid some soul-searching about the safety of women in Delhi and other parts of the country.
Police figures show that, in Delhi, a rape is reported on average every 18 hours and some form of sexual attack every 14 hours.
National statistics show that 228,650 of the total 256,329 violent crimes recorded in 2011 were committed against women.
