While it is well known that the police and judicial system in India is not above corruption, the fact that a 15 year old girl was alone with strangers in a foreign land is a reflection of the decay in the social system of the west. All will agree that a 15 year old girl doing alcohol and drugs after midnight would not be spared by anti-socials in any country of the world, including England. Also, such cases are quite frequent in India, as reported in tiny newspaper columns, and it is sad that the media comes out in full force only when the victim is a citizen of another country and white skinned. Finally, to all my fellow Indians residing abroad, before bad mouthing the Indian police, politicians and the whole country in general, please take a statistical look at the rapes and murders occurring in your foster home countries, with special reference to the offence to convictions rates and compare them with India, before making such sweeping statements which shows India in bad light.

Police in India is evil, and unless we admit it, expose it and do something about it, we will remain a Greater Bihar.

You think about this man .......... Indian men prefer VIRGIN brides in this day and age so why will a hindu family report it to police and make it public ??? Kya unka dimag kharab hai ? And only 3% of rapes in India is REPORTED. India has highest rapes in the world possibly.
RAPE STATISTICS
#1 United States: 89,110 #2 South Africa: 53,008 #3 Canada: 24,049 #4 Australia: 15,630 #5 India: 15,468
It is in India that you have to be ASHAMED TO BE RAPED not in the west where it is most often reported without guilt.

Nandu...You have good experience...Police ka danda.....:) But I agree with the statistics and information. But at the same time you have to look into other side of the coin. Few woman go to police by giving false complient saying she was asked to sleep, tried to rape......Conclusion: Behind every problem there is a WOMAN.

You appear a little dated in your perception. Many surveys show that Indian men no longer consider virginity a must...please read up. As regards morality, read whay the USA governor was up to recently. Admittedly, the reported rapes in India as lower than in USA, but Americans who do not want virgins for brides (as per your info) do manage to rape also. American policia danda is also active... just check youtube for videos of police brutality in USA and Europe.

The police in our country are capable of doing anything for money.
Committed a Murder ... No problem we will show it as suicide or accident, pay us a few lakhs.
Duaughter Committed Suicide ... We think you murdered her, as she was having affair, with boy you did not like ..Ready to believe you, pay us Rs 1 lakh.
Daughters Body ... Sorry we can give only after 3 days ... OK will give it today, pay Rs 15,000.
Every situation they know, how to extract money from helpless people ... Unfortunately citizens do not fight and everyone contributes to the bribes.
Goto Google or Rediff, search "YouPayToo" as one word and learn, how even YOU contibute to their bribes.

Very True. Atleast the police is now accepting it as a possible homicide and investigating it even though the girl was know to be a drug addict and raoming past well after midnight. Look what has happened in the case murder of students here who mostly abide by the law , zero progress.
