Indian mother's agony as police 'hijack' hearse and try to forcibly cremate body of daughter, 16, who killed herself after being gang-raped by 'politically protected' mobsters
The girl, whose body is pictured with her grieving mother, was
gang-raped in October in Madhyamgram, near Calcutta, by a group of six
men - who are allegedly linked to West Bengal's ruling party, the
Trinamool Congress. They attacked her again the following day as she
returned from reporting the crime, it is claimed. On Tuesday, police
intercepted a hearse carrying the body and tried to have it cremated
without consent of the family. The series of events has led to protests
across the country, with campaigners saying nothing has changed in the
country since the Delhi bus gang-rape last year.
