A woman has died of her injuries after being set on fire on
a train in the Indian state of Kerala.
The woman, identified as Fathima, 45, had been seen having
an argument with man on the station platform in the town of Kannur early on
Monday.
She boarded a stationary train and was seen running out
shortly afterwards in flames. Police say they are looking for the suspect.
Violence against women is deeply entrenched across India.
The 2012 gang r*pe and murder of a student in Delhi caused
global outrage and sparked a nationwide discussion about attitudes towards and
violence against women, which led to some laws being changed.
Kerala police inspector AK Babu told the BBC that some
eyewitnesses had reported that Fathima was seen arguing with the man shortly
before boarding the early morning train to Cochin.
Police suspect that Fathima was doused in alcohol before
being set on fire while she was sitting in the train compartment. The seat
covers were also burned.
Babu said the police could not take a statement before her
death, as she was too seriously injured.
