    No idea, but from reddit to lemmy, whenever there’s post about horrendous rape case from india it’s always uttar pradesh. Maybe that region is bad?

      I’ve noticed the same exact thing. Makes me wonder if there could be some kind of difference in reporting, like how florida’s laws led to the florida man/woman trope.
