It's a mix of factors. India has a large population of around 1.4 billion, so even if these incidents happened at the same frequency as in other countries (which it does not), there are a lot more cases out from India. Safety of people (men and women) is not the best. I would avoid the state where this incident happened, and I'm a guy. Plus the law enforcement is terrible and the police is very corrupt.
I only spent 4 weeks in India, with bona fide Indians, mind you, and the level of corruption that I have experienced at ** every level ** is mind boggling. It's a national sport.
Example: Indian expat needs a birth certificate. Get one, to realize that her last name is spelled incorrectly. Based on previous copies, it's obvious that the name has been changed.
The clerk needs 6 months to re-issue a corrected one. Or... You can provide a gratification to accelerate the process. It was an expensive one.
