The following links will take you to one of the sorriest stories of India.
With the media howling non-stop on various issues you would think a woman who was brutalised by having stones shoved up her vagina and rectum would find some sympathy.
But sadly no.
The Chhattisgarh police claimed she fell in a bathroom.
Unless you guys knew what the subject was about you would've missed most of these reports that cover a time-spread of 2011-2014.
You can read the brief here or check the links for a more complete version.
On Friday Supreme Court granted "permanent bail" (not freedom) to Prisoners of Conscience Soni Sori and Lingaram Kodopi who were under detention for over two years on false charges.
The Supreme Court granted bail to the duo more than two years after they were arrested on false charges levelled against them for criticising the human rights violations of security forces in Chhattisgarh.
Soni Sori was tortured while she was in custody on October 8 and 9, 2011. In letters written to the Supreme Court, she said that police officials had stripped and sexually assaulted her and given her electric shocks.
On October 29, 2011, a government hospital examined her under court order, and reported that two stones had been inserted in her vagina and one in her rectum.
Ankit Garg, who had supervised the rape and brutalisation, recently received a gallantry award.
