After Criticism, India Police Arrest 8 in Haryana Rape-Murder

NEW DELHI — Under mounting criticism for their slow response to a missing persons report filed last week, the police in the Indian state of Haryana arrested eight men on Monday suspected of raping and murdering a mentally impaired woman whose battered body was found in a field.

Because of its brutality, the killing drew comparisons with a 2012 gang-rape that took place in Delhi, setting off widespread protests over the policing of violence against women.
