Lured by the promise of employment, a 32-year old housewife from Varanasi was raped by two men in Mumbai. However, the police have only registered a case of molestation. A video shows the woman stating clearly that she was raped by two men. Cops, however, said they were unaware of the existence of such a video.

Sanam (name changed) lived with her daughter and husband in Varanasi. A few months ago, her eight-year-old daughter succumbed to a disease. Unable to bear the grief, she poured kerosene over herself and set herself on fire. Neighbours intervened in the nick of time and rushed her to the hospital.
