Delhi rape victim named by father


The father of the Delhi gang rape victim has revealed her identity - as XXX to London based media. 

BSP, the father of the 23 year old of horrific gang rape said he wants 'the world to know' the name of his daughter XXX, who died in a Singapore hospital 13 days after the brutal rape in New Delhi.

'I am proud of her. Revealing her name will give courage to other women who have survived these attacks,' said the father. 'They will find strength from my daughter.'

Now what is the police going to do?  They moved in to take action against Indian media house for revealing the father's ID.  What are they going to do now to the father now.

Update:  Later in the day, I came across this note in The Hindu.  In line with that note, the name of the victim is 'redacted'.

OTOH, the evening paper maalaimalar did reveal the name without any problem.

Meanwhile this is the image doing the rounds alleging that the girl in the photo is the victim.  I’ve taken care to mask the face, but other photos are available in-clear.

(I have removed the image of the alleged victim as I can't find any independent confirmation of the picture - update 2200 IST)
