Demonstrators taunted and teased policemen during a protest calling for better safety for women following the rape of a student last week, at Vijay Chowk, Raisina Hill, near presidential palace in New Delhi on December 22, 2012. The hours-long gang-rape and near-fatal beating of a 23-year-old student by six men on a bus in New Delhi recently has triggered outrage and anger across the country as Indians demanded action from authorities who have long ignored persistent violence and harassment against women.
