Dear Dr. Arun
You have posed a very right question. These practices and rapes are taking place all over India. Only yesterday IAC along with activists of Jan Tantra Morcha was trying to get information using RTI on 1 or 2 such "rapists" (as per amended definitions in new IPC/CrPC) who are Deans in a well known college of Gujarat.Really what is India coming to one can ask ? How then is a mini-Goa (with its European beef eating & wine drinking culture) allowed to exist in a bastion of conservative Hindutva like Narendra Modi's Gujarat ? Can anyone please tell me.

Are only few like Tejpal in India? The answer is no, rather it is widely spread in all walks of lives in India. The rapist in Delhi on Dec 16 th were one of the worst example but many who have been raping women belong to the group of corrupt money makers as well as corrupt politicians in all parties from India's village level to the halls of parliament in Delhi.

Rules bent for Tejpal's sprawling six-bedroom Goa villa
SANDEEP UNNITHAN | Goa, November 27, 2013 | 09:59
"I'm baffled how the house got an occupancy certificate," she says. The 200-year-old mansion is located in the idyllic north Goa village which has a population of around 5,000 people.
The Tejpals broke a mandatory 3-metre 'setback' or the minimum distance of the house from the building wall, she says. Staff quarters at the rear of the 5,300 square metre property are built very close to theboundary wall. " Fire tenders will not be able to access the property in case of an emergency," says Vigilia, a former sarpanch who filed several Right to Information (RTI) applications to obtain the villa's building plans.
She believes at least half-a-dozen mango and jackfruit trees were cut by the couple during the renovation. The Tejpals, she says, also built a 2-metre high compound wall, higher than the 1.5 metres prescribed bybuilding rules.
The villa is located near Mapusa town, 18 km north of the state capital Panaji. The house originally belonged to the Octavio De Souza family who sold it to a Goa-based developer Saleem Ali Shah around a decade ago.
The Tejpals bought the property for over Rs 1 crore from Shah in 2009. They renovated it at a substantial cost for over two years. It is now advertised as a Rs 55,000- a- night boutique villa.
Locals testify to its enormous popularity during the tourist season.
On October 11, 2011, the Moira village panchayat issued a 'stop notice' to the Tejpals for 'illegally constructing a swimming pool'. Hartman de Souza, a theatre person and environmentalist, first flagged the violations in an October 27, 2011 article in a national daily without naming Tejpal. "The levels of corruption in Goa, especially in the Town planning department are astounding," he says.
Tejpal has denied violating 'a single rule' in acquiring or renovating the house. In a rebuttal to de Souza's article published in a national daily on October 30, 2011 Tejpal said he and his wife were ' impassioned tree lovers' who had gone to exemplary lengths to save every single firm and infirm tree while renovating.' Oswald Cordeiro, the sarpanch of Moira village said the licenses for Birdsong had been issued by the previous panchayat. " We have not received any complaints of violations," he says.
