{{Police in India say they have now arrested all suspects in connection with the gang rape and murder of two teenage cousins.}}<\/p>\n
Three suspected attackers have been detained, along with two policemen accused of dereliction of duty and criminal conspiracy.<\/p>\n
The girls, who belonged to a low caste, were found hanged from a tree in Uttar Pradesh state earlier in the week.<\/p>\n
Alleged police inaction has sparked outrage.<\/p>\n
The father of one victim told media he was ridiculed by police when he sought help in finding his missing daughter.<\/p>\n
He said that when policemen found out he was from a lower caste, they “refused to look for my girl”.<\/p>\n
The government has pledged to set up a fast-track court to deal with the case.<\/p>\n
