Unnao rape survivor, set on fire by accused year after the attack, passes away in Safdarjung hospital  The Unnao gang-rape survivor who was set ablaze by five people on Thursday, died at the Safdarjung hospital in Delhi following a cardiac arrest on Friday night, hospital sources said. “Despite our best efforts, she did not survive. Her condition deteriorated towards the evening. She had a cardiac arrest around 11.10 pm. We tried to resuscitate her, but she passed away around 11.40 pm,” said Dr Shalab Kumar, Head of Burn and Plastic Surgery at the hospital. She died on a day when all the four accused in the gang-rape and murder case of a veterinary doctor in Hyderabad were killed in an ’encounter’ with the Telangana police, triggering a flood of reactions across the spectrum – ranging from appreciation to condemnation. The Unnao rape victim was set on fire by five men, including her two alleged rapists on Thursday morning when she was going to Rae Bareli to attend a court hearing in the rape case filed by her. She had suffered more than 90 percent burns and was airlifted to Delhi after being shifted from a local hospital to Lucknow. The Delhi Traffic Police had provided a “green corridor” for hindrance-free movement of the ambulance carrying her from the airport to the hospital.
