A female student gang-raped on a bus in India's capital Delhi has died at a
Singapore hospital, doctors say.
"The patient passed away peacefully at 4:45am on 29 Dec 2012," a statement
from the hospital said. The patient's family had been by her side, it added.
The 23-year-old had arrived in Singapore on Thursday after undergoing three
operations in a Delhi hospital.
The attack earlier this month triggered violent public protests in India
that left one police officer dead.
Six men have been arrested and two police officers have been suspended
following the 16 December attack.
"The patient had remained in an extremely critical condition since admission
to Mount Elizabeth Hospital," a statement from hospital chief executive
Kelvin Loh said.
"She had suffered from severe organ failure following serious injuries to
her body and brain. She was courageous in fighting for her life for so long
against the odds but the trauma to her body was too severe for her to
overcome," the statement went on.
"We are humbled by the privilege of being tasked to care for her in her
final struggle," Mr Loh said.
A team of eight specialists had tried to keep the patient stable, but her
condition continued to deteriorate over the two days she was at Mount
Elizabeth Hospital, he added.
Officials from the High Commission of India had also been present when the
patient passed away. The Indian home minister said the government had
decided to send the victim overseas on the recommendation of her doctors.
The woman's case has sparked public debate as well as several days of
protests across India
Arrangements are being made to take her body back to India, Indian high
commissioner to Singapore TCA Raghavan told reporters, according to the
Associated Press. |
