The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 14 Mar 2021One ordinary day, a 13-year-old girl in Kanpur district was returning home after collecting cattle fodder. Three men allegedly accosted and gang-raped the child. Because the father of one of the accused works with UP police, they first tried to intimidate her family into not filing a complaint.
