News: India fires 6 policemen over deaths of children, women
In a country long known for its outstanding commitment to social equality, citizens were outraged after learning local police essentially ignored reports that poor women and children have been disappearing from a wealthy suburb of Delhi over the past two years.
One migrant worker told reporters that when she asked police to investigate the disappearance of her 20-year-old daughter, they laughed, saying “Why do you people have so many children if you can’t look after them?” Of course, this was before they found the dismembered remains of at least 17 women and children in the sewer behind a businessman’s residence. He was arrested, along with his faithful manservant accomplice who reportedly performed domestic chores, including light kidnapping and body disposal.
After the first wave of nausea and abject horror, I was left wondering.. since when is killing women illegal in India? I kid, I kid! Seriously though, you guys are great.
