nDelhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday called the death of the rape victim from Unnao "shameful" for every Indian and said he hoped that the Uttar Pradesh Government will hang the culprits "to set an example" for the society.
"The death of Unnao's daughter is shameful for every Indian. God give courage to the family of the victim. The whole country is standing with them in this fight. I hope that the UP Government will soon complete the judicial process and hang our daughter's killers that will set an example for the whole society," Kejriwal said in a tweet in Hindi.
Protests are being held in several States including Delhi since Thursday when the 23-year-old woman was set on fire by five men, including two who were accused of raping.
The victim was attacked outside Sindpur village in Unnao district when she was on her way to the court in Rae Bareli for the hearing in the rape case. Out of the five men who attacked her two were out on bail in the rape case filed by her against them. She was allegedly raped by Shivam Trivedi and Shubham in December who constantly threatened her to take the case back.
The victim, who died at 11.40 PM on Friday following a cardiac arrest, had suffered more than 90 per cent burns, most of which were facial and inhalation injuries.
