Six men, including the girl's lover raped her and set her on fire. Families were hostile due to failed marriage

Lucknow: A young girl was set ablaze after she was allegedly gang-raped by six men in Etawah, the home town of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, police said on Friday.

The incident occurred on Thursday. The girl, a resident of Jesarmau village in Etawah district, is battling for life at a hospital at Saifai with 90 percent burns.

Deputy Inspector General R.K. Chaturvedi told IANS that the girl told police that six men, including her lover Farhan, raped her and set her on fire.

"Efforts are on to nab the culprits," the officer said.

Police said the victim and one of her attackers had intended to get married.

But matters took an ugly turn as money was demanded as a condition for solemnising the bond. The marriage did not take place, and the families grew hostile, the officer said.

To sort things out, the girl apparently called the young man to her house where he raped her along with five of his friends.

The villagers have, however, alleged that the girl herself sprinkled kerosene and tried to set afire to pressurise Farman, who was not interested in marrying her. The girl accidentally caught fire when the youth tried to ###### the matchstick.

The accused Farhan and his family members have fled the village and efforts were on to nab them, police said.

Infuriated over the incident, the locals tried to set Farhan's house ablaze but the elders in the village mediated and brought the situation under control.

The girl's family alleged that they were being intimidated.
