The body of the 19-year-old Dalit woman, who was raped and tortured by four men two weeks ago, was cremated by the police around 3 am on Wednesday in Hathras district of Uttar Pradesh, The Indian Express reported. Her family, however, has said they were not allowed to take her body home and were pushed to cremate her immediately.
“It appears that my sister has been cremated; the police are not telling us anything,” the woman’s brother told the newspaper at 3.30 am. “We begged them to let us bring her body inside the house one last time, but they didn’t listen to us.”
