FILE- In this Dec. 4, 2019, file photo, Indians walk with placards during a protest demanding justice in the case of a veterinarian who was gang-raped and killed the previous week, in Kolkata, India. In India, gruesome reports of rape and retaliatory killing are hauntingly familiar. Experts say whether a report of rape rises above the din is largely determined by class and caste dynamics, and high-profile cases little affect how the system works for the thousands of others whose cases languish in India’s overburdened courts.
