“Crocodile tears”, “dirty politics”, “vote bank politics” — these are some of the things we have heard from politicians about the Alwar rape case. But political agenda aside, what about the actual rape case?

In this episode of The Big Story, we focus on the rape of a Dalit woman in Rajasthan’s Alwar district, which has, unfortunately. become a political tool to mobilise Dalit votes in the last phases of the election.
