A 15-year-old girl who was allegedly set on fire by a family member who is also accused of raping her is fighting for her life at a hospital in northern India
In a case that has shocked the country, police in Uttar Pradesh state arrested an 18-year-old man and his mother on Monday on suspicion of attempted murder for allegedly pouring kerosene on the girl and setting her ablaze upon learning she was pregnant, according to police officials. “She’s critical. Doctors are trying to save her but there no hope of survival,” the girl’s mother told CNN on Thursday. CNN is not naming the alleged victim or her mother to protect their identities.
The victim’s home is in a low-income neighborhood in the city of Mainpuri in Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state. Tea, fruit and snack stalls line the muddy sidewalk, while rickshaws and motorcycles run amok on the uneven roads. Goats and cows graze on scraps of food in the distance. If Uttar Pradesh were a country, it would be the world’s fifth largest with a population of more than 200 million.
