Angry villagers in New Delhi have held a protest outside a crematorium where they say a 9-year-old girl was raped and killed earlier this week. The case has revived outrage over the number of gruesome sexual crimes against women in India.
Tina Verma, 27, a social activist, holds a placard which reads, "Hang the killers of 9-year old child" at a demonstration site outside a crematorium where a 9-year-old girl from the lowest rung of India's caste system was, according to her parents and protesters, raped and killed earlier this week, in New Delhi, India, Thursday, Aug. 5, 2021.
Four men suspected in the crime, all of them workers at the crematorium, have been arrested but have yet to be charged, said police officer Ingit Pratap Singh. The mother cannot be named due to Indian law that prohibits releasing information that could identify the victims of sexual crimes.Singh said the extent of the cremation meant a post-mortem examination was unable to establish whether the girl was raped or how she was killed.Police said forensic experts were testing her clothing for bodily fluids or other evidence.
Rights organizations say that woman who are on the lowest level of India’s unforgiving Hindu caste hierarchy — known as Dalits — are particularly vulnerable to sexual violence and other attacks.
