Unnao rape case: Indian woman set on fire on way to hearing dies
7 December 2019
An Indian woman who was set on fire on her way to testify against her alleged rapists has died of her injuries.
The 23-year-old died late on Friday after suffering cardiac arrest at a Delhi hospital. She had 90% burns.
She was attacked on Thursday as she was walking to a hearing in the rape case she filed against two men in March in Unnao, in northern Uttar Pradesh state.
Five men, including the alleged rapists, have been arrested, Indian police say.

Im not violent, but this angers me. When I think about what they did to this innocent woman....😡😡😡
In certain moments Id say get me a gun and Id kill everyone of these bastards. No questions asked. Done.
In my book they deserve to die. My dad would say they oughtta line em up and shoot em.
