A 19-year-old lady who was allegedly raped by four men in Hathras district in northern India has been cremated by Indian Police.
The family of the Dalit (formerly untouchable) woman who died after she was gang-raped accused police officials of cremating her body without their permission.
She was grievously injured and died in a Delhi hospital on Tuesday.
Activists say police will have to explain why they took the “unkind decision”.
Her alleged attackers have been arrested and a rapid court process has been set up to hear the case.
Her body was brought to their village in Uttar Pradesh state around midnight. The victim’s brother said that police officials were putting pressure on the family to cremate her immediately.
“When we refused, they took the body in an ambulance and cremated her,” he said
