Rising Crimes Against Women in Uttar Pradesh - 23 Aug 2014 
Indian federal investigators are analyzing a forensic report that found that two teenage girls, earlier believed to have been raped before they were murdered, were not sexually assaulted. Images of the cousins, still hanging from a mango tree in a village in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, shocked the world in May and threw light on an enduring culture of sexual and caste violence in India.

Based on testimony from relatives of the girls, who belonged to a low-caste community, three brothers were quickly arrested. Two policemen were also held on suspicion of trying to conceal the crime.

But investigations, first by regional police and then by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) - India's counterpart to the U.S. FBI - failed to substantiate the relatives' accounts.

Supporters of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) shout slogans as police use a water cannon to stop them from moving towards the office of Akhilesh Yadav, the chief minister of the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, during a protest against recent rape and hanging of two girls, in Lucknow June 2, 2014. Three men were arrested for the crime in Uttar Pradesh that underscored the enduring culture of sexual assault in India and the capacity for appalling violence between Hindu castes. Two policemen were held on suspicion of attempting to cover up the killings. On Monday, Modi's BJP sought to make political capital. Workers from the party accused the Uttar Pradesh state government, headed by Samajwadi Party, of negligence over the crimes and of being unfit to govern. Police fired water cannon at the protesters, who were demanding the state government be dismissed and the imposition of direct, presidential rule. REUTERS/Pawan Kumar
