The case appears to have striking parallels with that of the 23-year-old student whose gang-rape and killing on a moving bus provoked protests throughout India.
Women's rights campaigners on Sunday night accused the police of compounding the victim's suffering by disclosing her identity in breach of Indian rape law.
Her identification has left her open to humiliation and coercion in any court trial, they said.
Details of this latest gang-rape emerged as the mother of the Delhi gang-rape and murder victim told The Sunday Telegraph of her anguish at the brutality of her daughter's ordeal and her determination that her killers be "burned alive " for their crime.
The outrage over the young woman's gang-rape and killing however has yet to filter throughout the country from where stories of rape and violent sexual assaults continue to emerge.
