Unnao, Dec 5 (IANS) The Unnao rape victim, who was set ablaze on
Thursday morning by those who had raped her, is being airlifted to Delhi for
advanced treatment.
The state government is making arrangements for an air ambulance
to take the victim, who has suffered around 90 per cent burn injuries, to the
national capital.
A green corridor will be created from the Civil Hospital to the
airport and the air ambulance is expected to take off around 6.30.p.m
Meanwhile an eye witness in Unnao has told a news channel that
the victim ran for almost one kilometre, crying for help, after she was set
ablaze.
"When I went near her, she took my phone and called the
emergency police number," said Ravindra Prakash who saw the rape victim
after she was set on fire.
"She was crying for help. When I asked her about her
identity, she told me her name. I was still afraid because she was badly burnt
and I thought she was a witch. I even picked up a stick. A short while later,
the police arrived and she was taken to the hospital.
