A teenager from Delhi who was allegedly tortured, repeatedly raped and force-fed acid has died a sickening painful death after her 'internal organs were destroyed.' The 14-year-old 'Dalit' - a member of the lowest caste in India's social system, also known as an ' untouchable ' - is said to have been drugged and raped by her family's neighbour last year. He allegedly kidnapped the teenager again ahead of a court hearing in May before torturing and raping her.
Her parents are reportedly street cleaners and currently at the hospital where she was treated, Max Hospital in Shalimar Bagh, north west Delhi.

She was forced to swallow a corrosive liquid, possibly an acid, by the man and 'died a very painful death', according to the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chairperson Swati Maliwal
She said the neighbour, named only as Shivshankar, was arrested only after the DCW became involved.
Ms Maliwal tweeted: "The girl was fed a corrosive substance which completely destroyed her internal organs and she died a very painful death. There are so many questions we can raise over the police action in this case? Why was the accused not arrested? Why was the Prevention of Atrocities Act not applied in this case?

14-year-old girl dies in second shocking double rape case in India
Shocking details emerge of three more alleged rapes in India
Activists say high-visibility cases put spotlight on India's ongoing problem
(CNN)A 14-year-old girl has died in another case of a lower-caste woman allegedly being raped by the same man twice in India. The girl was kidnapped in May by the same suspect who allegedly attacked her in December, according to a police report filed by her parents, a senior Delhi police official told CNN. The suspect was reportedly out on bail while he awaited trial in the first rape case involving the girl.
The girl belonged to the Dalit caste, Swati Maliwal, chairwoman of the Delhi Commission for Women, told CNN. Dalit is the lowest caste in Indian society. Her parents told police the alleged attacker forced the girl to drink chemicals. She died Sunday after being admitted to the hospital in June when she fell ill. The suspect was arrested again following her death, police said.
The girl's death comes after brutal details emerged last week of another case of a Dalit student allegedly raped by the same group of men for a second time. The allegations of the double gang-rape caused an international outcry, raised questions around why the accused were granted bail and highlighted the vulnerability of Dalit women in India. According to India's National Crime Records Bureau, more than four Dalit women are raped every day, with 2014 statistics saying crime against Dalits rose 19%. In many of the cases, these crimes are committed by perpetrators from an upper caste.

DELHI, India, July 26 (UPI) -- A 14-year-old girl died in India after being kidnapped and raped by the same man who was awaiting trial for raping her last year, local authorities said. The victim, a Dalit, a member of the lowest caste in India, was kidnapped by the man in May, and her parents told police she was tortured and forced to drink chemicals, police told CNN. She later died in a hospital.
Her death follows a similar attack on another Dalit girl allegedly gang raped a second time by the same group, spurring international outrage and scrutiny of how the men were allowed to make bail.
"How long will Delhi's girls be thrown to the wolves. This Nirbhaya was also raped by the system. Can anybody hear her scream?" said Swati Maliwal, chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women in a series of tweets. "There are so many questions we can raise over the police action in this case. Why was the accused not arrested? Why was the Prevention of Atrocities Act not applied in this case?" Maliwal said.
The victim was allegedly kidnapped by the man who is accused of raping her in December, binding her hands and feet, and starving her while she was held.
