Ashes of the Delhi gang-rape victim were on Tuesday immersed in the
river Ganga at Bharauli ghat here as hundreds of people, including women
and children, bid adieu to the braveheart with teary eyes.
The ashes were brought to her ancestral village by the family late on Monday evening. On Tuesday morning, the family members started from the house around 8 am to immerse the ashes at Bharauli ghat.
As the crowd swelled with people pouring in to pay their last tributes to the victim, it took the family members almost three hours to cover a distance of 8 kilometres.
At Bharauli ghat the family members, including her father and brother, accompanied by local MLA Upendra Tiwari, immersed the ashes. They broke down during the immersion.
As a mark of tribute to the braveheart, a primary school in her native village Medwar Kalan here will be named after her.
In several parts of the country, however, rapes and other crimes against women continued unabated. At least eight cases of rape were reported on Tuesday.
