A collision that left an Indian rape survivor critically injured, two family members dead, and her lawyer injured, raises suspicions of foul play
A number of high-profile cases of rape and sexual assault have sparked protest across India in recent years.
Police said Monday they had arrested the truck driver and were investigating claims that it may have been a hit to silence the girl. Her father was then detained by police and severely beaten in custody – allegedly by Sengar's brother – before dying from his injuries. The woman's family said the crash was a deliberate bid to kill her so the rape case does not go to trial."There could be a possibility of murder behind this incident," said Akhilesh Yadav, a former Uttar Pradesh chief minister and head of the regional Samajwadi Party.He said the truck was speeding, but declined further comment while an investigation went ahead.
