For the unversed, on September 14, the victim was dragged by her dupatta into the fields, where she was cutting grass with her family. Her spinal cord was injured. Fakhrul Hoda, head of neurosurgery at the Aligarh hospital where she was earlier treated, told reporters that “Surgery to fix her spine could only have been done after her condition improved. The damage to the spinal cord appeared to be permanent.”

All four accused are in jail. They will now also be charged with murder.
