“On 24th August, a 20 year old Dalit [that is, Untouchable caste] girl was brutally raped and murdered in Jind, Haryana, while she was on her way to write an examination. Her body was found near a canal the next day by the police. There were cigarette burn marks on her body and significant indications of sexual violence. It is clear that she was kidnapped, raped and then murdered.” In the photo, people gathered outside the Haryana Bhavan in Delhi, India, on 18 September 2013, to protest the absence of action by the Haryana State government.
