Both deaths have occurred this week in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.

The family of the latest victim, a 22 year old, told the BBC she was dragged into a vehicle after going to apply for admission at a local school.

Well, this happened in Bahrain poor district.

That's 500 kilometers from half thrust district where a 19 year old woman died on Tuesday, a fortnight after being gang raped.

Well, that case has sparked protests.

These pictures from New Delhi, as you can see police were trying to disrupt this protest on much of the outrage, has been focused on a dispute over the police's decision to quickly cremate the victim's body.

This is her mother on Under Indian law.

We cannot show her face.

E spent the whole night crying.

I didn't know what had happened.

They could have shown us her body and let us conduct the last rites.

One doesn't get closure if this isn't done.

They beat some people and the car reached the funeral ground.

They started beating family members and kicking them there.

Is this any way to behave well today?

A senior police officers said forensic reports suggested the young woman hadn't bean raped.

Combined.

That statement with the decision to destroy her remains in a controversial fashion, and opposition politicians are alleging a cover up.

Also relevant is that both victims were from the Dalit community, which is an underprivileged group in Indian society.

In the half dressed case, the first case, four men of a higher caste have been arrested.

Here's a dollar activist and lawyer.

This case is about cast on this case is about cast supremacy on.

Did they have committed this offense just to teach a lesson to this particular family?

Because as a Dalit family and as a a Dalit girl, she was not supposed to assert her right, not even as equal citizens, but even as a human being.

Well, the case has a political dimension to Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi.

Siblings and also high profile opposition politicians were arrested when they attempted to walk to the village of the half thrust victim to meet her parents.

Rahul Gandhi fell down in the melee after police tried to stop him on the grounds that he was violating a covert 19 ban on large gathering.

It's more the BBC's around.

A Mukherjee has more on this.

Now this state is governed by the BJP, which is the principal party in the state, and also it is the party that governs the center as well so they will stop on.

This is being seen as a bigger political tussle between the two parties as one party tries to make this into a larger political issue, attacking the BJP for what they say has an been a case that has been completely mishandled on the BJP, trying to defend itself by pushing any kind of political opposition on this and the kind of visual that came in where Rahul Gandhi, the senior Congress leaders actually falling to the ground at one point because of the scuffle with a man in uniform, the Congress Party extremely livid, saying that this is not how the government should suppress any kind of dissent.

My colleague, they're talking about Rahul Gandhi.

His sister, Priyanka Gandhi, also spoke to the press.

Three government will have to take responsibility for the safety of women, the government will have to take responsibility.

The chief minister will have to take responsibility.

The manner in which women are being tortured in Uttar Pradesh should be completely stopped and strict action should be taken against the culprits.

Well, we heard Priyanka Gandhi referencing the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh there.

Here's what he's had to say on Twitter, he wrote in Hindi.

But when translated, it reads.

Respected Prime Minister Modi has spoken on the incident and said that strict action should be taken against the culprits.

But the outrage has continued to grow with high profile Indians speaking out about the incidents and the broader issues the actress Suara busca tweeted.

It's time the chief minister should resign under him utter breakdown of law and order in Uttar Pradesh.

His policies have created car strive, fake encounters, gang wars and there is a rape epidemic in Uttar Pradesh, she says.

Hatteras case is only one example on the context.

Here is there is a long history of attacks involving gangs of men, including this infamous case of a gang rape and murder of a woman on a bus in Delhi in 2012.

You may well remember it that led to huge protests and changes to the law.

But the situation appears to actually have become worse.

In 2012 there, almost 25,000 reported rapes in India.

In 2019 there were more than 32,000 reported rapes.

That's an average of 88 rapes every single day in 2012 there were less than one in four is less than one in four chance of prosecution, leading to a conviction seven years later.

Despite government commitments to improve, that figure has hardly changed.

While Kalpana Sharma is an author and journalist specializing in gender issues, The trouble is, the government thinks like nearly making the law stronger, and in this case they've introduced the death penalty after 2012 that the crime will be dealt with.

But it is not because the criminal justice system, the manner and it works is completely broken in this country.
