The law also makes it a crime for officers to refuseto open cases when complaints are made.A 16-year-old girl,who preferred not to use her name, told CBS News how she was gang raped in 2012by eight of her neighbors, who filmed the attack on a cell phone. Her fatherwas so ashamed he committed suicide.

印度已经将对强奸犯的徒刑加倍到了20年，并将窥阴、跟踪和买卖妇女都列为非法。印度法律同时也将警方接到报案而不立案定位非法。一位不愿透露姓名的16岁少女告诉哥伦比亚广播公司，她在2012年被8名邻居轮奸了，他们还用手机拍下了轮奸的过程。她的父亲受不了如此奇耻大辱，于是自杀了。
