Cops bicker, woman is gangraped

A woman is gangraped while the police fought over who was responsible to stop the crime - yes, this happens only in India. One knows cops here are an apathetic lot. But this story makes me want to scream out. What is happening to us as a nation? Where are we going? Will any of those cops be held accountable for what happened to that 20-year-old woman? Does anybody really care?

I am probably being extremely finicky right now, but the last line in this story irks me - In 2007, the city saw 598 rapes, a slight improvement from 2006 (623 cases) and 2005 (658 cases). Improvement? That there are some 20-odd fewer rapes happening is an improvement? Someone please help me understand this!
