Shock in India as woman, 20, reportedly dragged by car for hour after collision

The death of a 20-year-old woman who was reportedly dragged for almost an hour by a car after a vehicle collision in Delhi has provoked outrage and calls for justice.

The event has shocked the country and dominated headlines in India, where road crash deaths are among the highest in the world. About 150,000 people are killed on the roads each year.

The woman was the sole breadwinner in her family and her mother was unwell, he added. Sisodia promised support for the family.

Her family has alleged she was sexually assaulted, saying her body was unclothed when it was discovered. Police said the autopsy did not find any injuries suggesting sexual assault.

The AAP has said one of the accused is a member of the ruling Bharatiya Janata party, and that police have covered this up.
