LUCKNOW, India - A 23-year-old rape victim was set ablaze by a gang of men, including the alleged rapist, as she made her way to court in Uttar Pradesh's Unnao district on Thursday, police said, stirring public outrage and shame over the scourge of crimes against women.
Protesters and parliamentarians are pressing for courts to fast-track rape cases and demanding tougher penalties. She had been on her way to catch a train in Unnao district to attend a hearing when she was doused with kerosene and set on fire, police said. Having been subsequently jailed, the alleged rapist was released last week after securing bail, police officer S.K. Bhagat said in Lucknow.
