From Kerala to Maharashtra, horrific rape cases are back to haunt India

In the last few days, a large number of rape cases have been reported from all over the country. Is the government taking note of it?

New Delhi, Nov 5: In the midst of all the "noisy" political developments, most of the rape cases reported from across the country in the last few days got buried in the inside pages of newspapers along with minor news reports.
