Police arrest 14 after teen raped, burned to death in IndiaPolice arrested 14 men on Saturday after a teenager was raped and burned alive at her home in eastern India, in the latest case of sexual violence in the country. The 16-year-old was abducted from her home when her family was away to attend a wedding and raped in a forested area of Jharkhand state on Thursday, a local police officer said. Village councils of local elders often settle disputes, bypassing India’s lengthy and expensive judicial system.
