India Orders Special Inquiry Into Gang Rape of Student After Weeks of Protest
Also announced the arrest of 10 men in another multiple sex assault case
India's government ordered a special inquiry Wednesday into the gang-rape of a student which sparked mass protests, as police announced the arrest of 10 men over another multiple sex assault.
While a wave of angry protests over the December 16 assault on the student in New Delhi subsided, news of a Christmas Eve gang-rape in rural Tamil Nadu again shone the spotlight on the frightening levels of violence against women.
