The two episodes occurred in the unfortunate northern territory of Uttar Pradesh, home to around 230 million individuals, where comparative violations consistently stand out as truly newsworthy.
In the most recent case, the young lady from a country region was supposedly gone after by two men and set ablaze early this month.
She was moved to a clinic in the state capital Lucknow where she surrendered to her wounds on Monday.
