The family of a Dalit (formerly untouchable) woman who died after she was allegedly gang-raped has accused police officials of cremating her body without their permission.

The 19-year-old was allegedly raped by four upper-caste men in Hathras district in northern India.

She was grievously injured and died in a Delhi hospital on Tuesday after fighting for her life for two weeks.

The Police burnt her body without their family's consent and refused to inform anyone. 

We need to seek JUSTICE FOR A 19 YEAR OLD.
