Two police officers who failed to investigate the disappearance of two teenage girls in India who were gang-raped and later found hanging from a tree have been fired.
It came as the top official in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, where the incident took place, mocked journalists for asking about the attack.
"Aren't you safe? You're not facing any danger, are you?" Chief minister Akhilesh Yadav said in Lucknow, the state capital. "Then why are you worried? What's it to you?"
The gang rape, with video of the cousins' bodies hanging from a mango tree, was the top story on India's news stations. But Uttar Pradesh has seen the mother of a rape victim attacked and a 17-year-old girl gang-raped by four men.
Uttar Pradesh is India's most populous state, with nearly 200 million people. Full story...
