Protests in northern India's Hathras have intensified after a 19-year-old woman died in hospital after being allegedly gang-raped.

The 19-year-old was reportedly raped by four upper-caste men and later died in a Delhi hospital after fighting for her life for two weeks.

Footage, filmed on September 30, shows hundreds protesting in the streets against the police for their lack of action in stopping crimes against women.

According to latest reports, the victim's body has been cremated without the family's consent.
