This is fairly standard for India, especially UP which is the least developed state in India (along with Bihar).
If you want to see something really egregious, check this out. A lower caste woman was raped and murdered by upper caste men. The really egregious part - the woman actually ended up dying one week later and her dying declaration identifying her 4 rapists and murderers was ruled inadmissible. After a nation wide outrage the rapists were arrested.

Once the news cycle calmed down, the following happened
1. The lower caste family of the victim could no longer find any work and feared stepping out of the house.
2. 3 of the rapists were set free based on a dubious report filed by the police which was hand in glove with the local upper caste leaders. The single convict was absolved of the murder charge because the woman did not die soon enough. https://www.thequint.com/news/india/hathras-rape-murder-victim-brother-on-acquittal-verdict https://www.thequint.com/news/india/hathras-rape-murder-vict...
3. A bunch of Muslim journalists were jailed for multiple years on sedition charges for trying to report on the incident, as per their job duties.

Another puke worthy case where BJP leaders took out processions in support of the rapists and murderers of an 8 year old girl. The reason for the support? the 8 year old victim was Muslim

[1] [2] Siddique Kappan, a journalist who went there to report on the story was arrested and spend 2 years in jail. [3] Wait if you think this is enough. The girl did gave a statement on video before death. Still it was not enough for rapists to get punished by court.
