Indian girl, 14, died in agony 2 months after being 'tortured, raped and force-fed acid

A teenager from Delhi who was allegedly tortured, repeatedly raped and force-fed acid has died a sickening painful death after her 'internal organs were destroyed.'

The 14-year-old 'Dalit' - a member of the lowest caste in India's social system, also known as an 'untouchable ' - is said to have been drugged and raped by her family's neighbour last year.

He allegedly kidnapped the teenager again ahead of a court hearing in May before torturing and raping her.Her parents are reportedly street cleaners and currently at the hospital where she was treated, Max Hospital in Shalimar Bagh, North west Delhi. 

According to the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chairperson Swati Maliwal ,

She was forced to swallow a corrosive liquid, possibly an acid, by the man and 'died a very painful death',She said the neighbour, named only as Shivshankar, was arrested only after the DCW became involved.

Ms Maliwal tweeted: 

"The girl was fed a corrosive substance which completely destroyed her internal organs and she died a very painful death.
"There are so many questions we can raise over the police action in this case? Why was the accused not arrested? Why was the Prevention of Atrocities Act not applied in this case?"With parents of 14 year old victim. Very poor n inconsolable. How many Nirbhayas does Delhi want? We all simply wait for next Nirbhaya to die.
