An Indian student who was left fighting for her life after being brutally gang-raped in New Delhi was being flown to Singapore for treatment, doctors and a report said late on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old, whose attack sparked protests across India, was moved from the Safdarjung hospital in central Delhi to the city's international airport, the hospital chief said.
Safdarjung Hospital Medical Superintendent B.D. Athani said the victim would be flown to Mount Elizbeth hospital in Singapore with the Press Trust of India reporting that an air ambulance carrying her had left around 11.45pm (2am Singapore time).
Thousands of people have taken to the streets since the attack to demonstrate both against the levels of violence and also the notoriously slow criminal justice system.
