Trial of five men accused of Delhi bus attack to be held in courts designed to avoid corruption plaguing India’s legal system An Indian magistrate has ordered the trial of five men accused over the fatal gang rape of a young woman on a bus to be moved to a special fast-track court in Delhi. The brutal rape of the 23-year-old physiotherapy student last month sparked protests and led to a national debate about the treatment of women across India and the inability of law enforcement to protect them. Since the attack, the government has set up five fast-track courts in the capital to deal swiftly with crimes against women. Authorities were eager to move the bus rape case to one of those courts – which are designed to avoid the delays, incompetence and corruption that plague much of India’s legal system
