Brinda Karat on Unnao rape victim's death: UP Govt has failed in providing justice

CPI (M) leader Brinda Karat on Saturday expressed grief over the death of a 23-year-old rape victim who was set ablaze by five men in Uttar Pradesh's Unnao district.
"This is a murder. She was raped and set ablaze by the accused and the Uttar Pradesh government and police failed in protecting her," Karat said.
"Initially, the police refused to register her FIR and when she approached the court, no one paid heed to her. She then raised her voice against the bail petition of the rape accused, but it was also not heard, "the CPI-M leader added.
