A protestor shouts slogans while being detained by police during a demonstration outside the Uttar Pradesh Bhawan in New Delhi on September 30, 2020, a day after a 19-year-old woman who was allegedly gang-raped died from her injuries near Bool Garhi village in the UP state. — AFPIndian police were accused Wednesday of cremating the body of a 19-year-old woman against her family’s will after she was allegedly gang-raped by four men in the country’s latest horrific sexual assault.

On Tuesday night clashes between police and protesters appalled by the killing erupted outside the hospital, before a large group of officers escorted the hearse back to her native village in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. “We begged them to let us bring her body inside the house one last time, but they didn’t listen to us,“ the woman’s brother was quoted as saying by the Indian Express daily.

“The police provided the firewood and helped the family in the cremation. Most of the family members were present at the cremation. We did not want any outsider to create law and order disturbances,“ Vir told AFP. On Tuesday hundreds of people including the victim’s relatives gathered outside the Delhi hospital to protest against the attack before authorities deployed riot police forcing them to disperse.
