Bombay is one of the few major international cities that has large slums in the city centre. These slums are useful not just for politicians who want votes, but even for the middle class and upper middle class of the city eager to benefit from cheap labour. The mother of one of the accused lived in a shanty and worked as a maid in many houses in the locality.
No one seems to mind these slums, which are basically illegal encroachments of public land. They are a hotbed of criminal activity and will continue to produce a large number of petty thieves and criminals. All 5 of the accused of the gang rape had criminal records and were still walking free in the city, just like the murderer of Keenan Santos, who had 2 pending murder cases against him.
The whole system in India is rotten and we can expect almost no change.
