Series of rape cases spark protests in India

New Delhi (CNN)Police in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh are investigating the death of 16-year-old-girl who was allegedly raped and set on fire, in the third such case reported in India this month.

The attack is alleged to have been carried out by a 28-year-old man, Sagar district Superintendent of Police Satyendra Kumar Shukla said.
The girl's family alleges that she was raped and set on fire at her home in Jhujharpura village on Thursday after her cousin told the man accused of the crime that the victim was home alone, police said.
The girl's cousin and the 28-year-old have been arrested.Following a post-mortem report, local police confirmed the girl died from burns sustained in the fire, Shukla told CNN. Police have not yet been able to confirm the rape but are preserving all evidence in the case for final confirmation, Shukla said.

Two other unrelated instances in which a teenage girl was raped and set ablaze, both in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand, are still under investigation.
The first reported attack in Jharkhand took place on May 4. The victim, a 16-year-old girl, is alleged to have been burned to death in an apparent revenge attack carried out after she reported a previous gang-rape attack to village chiefs, investigators said.
The second victim in Jharkhand, a 17-year-old girl, was being treated in a local hospital Monday afternoon after suffering burns to 70% of her body, a police superintendent said.
Thousands of people took to the streets across the country last month in response to earlier incidents of sexual violence against women and girls.
They were some of the largest demonstrations seen in India since the highly publicized rape and murder of a female college student in New Delhi in 2012.
Around 100 sexual assaults are reported to police in India every day, according to the National Crime Records Bureau. There were nearly 39,000 alleged attacks in 2016, an increase of 12% on the previous year.
