With the kind of wealth available in Indian cricket and the lack of safeguards, there is no estimating what a more accurate number of cricketers facing harassment by their superiors—coaches, selectors, officials—may be.

A Dalit Minor Was Gang Raped Twice, UP Police Ignored The First Time
A Dalit minor from Uttar Pradesh was allegedly gang-raped by the same men twice in 44 days, and a year later, the rapists set fire to her house in Laad Kheda village, causing burn injuries to her infant son born out of the rape. An examination of the case showed the UP police ignored vital evidence and registered an FIR for the first rape more than a year later, only after the minor went to the POCSO court in Unnao.

Hathras rape-murder case: A doomed investigation to begin with
As time progressed, top police officials in UP made all efforts to establish that it was not a case of rape, as alleged by the victim’s family. It was seen as a way for the ruling BJP government to make every effort to dismiss the possibility of rape and deflect blame by opposition parties.
