India gang rape victim’s death sparks outrage

A Dalit teenager allegedly raped by four upper-caste men died of her injuries yesterday, sparking outrage from Indian activists, politicians and Bollywood stars.

India's 200 million low-caste "untouchable" Dalits have long faced discrimination and abuse and campaigners say attacks have increased during the coronavirus pandemic.

The 19-year-old woman was brutally assaulted in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh on September 14. The four accused have been arrested.
