In India, a second teenager has been raped and set on fire in the latest of violent crimes against women in the country.

The teenager is 17-year old female and is suffering from 70 per cent first-degree burns, whilst the police have arrested a 19-year old male for committing the crime.

The two cases have shone a light on the treatment of rape in India and are pressuring Indian authorities to act by changing the law to allow execution for child rapists.
