“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.

What are the details of this case? What does the survivor have to say about the political slugfest? What does she have to say about Mayawati and Modi, who have both used this incident to take jibes at each other? Tune in to know.
