Unnao’s rape-immolation victim, who had suffered 90 per cent burns after five men, including two of her rapists, had set her on fire while she was on her way to court, died around 11.40 pm on Friday at Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital, where she was airlifted from Lucknow on Thursday. The accused had thrashed, stabbed and then set her ablaze.
Earlier on Friday, doctors at the hospital had said the condition of the victim was critical. She was on ventilator.
The Delhi Traffic Police had on Thursday provided a “green corridor” for hindrance-free movement of the ambulance carrying her from the airport to the hospital.
One of the two rapists was granted bail 10 days back. All the five men were attacked within hours after the news spread like wildfire across the nation.
