A 28-year-old Indian digital influencer named Manjeet Kaur died after being burned alive. She was seven months pregnant at the time of the attack. The case occurred approximately two months ago, but her death was recently confirmed by authorities.

According to the investigation, Manjeet Kaur was allegedly kidnapped, tied to a tree and subsequently burned. The severity of the burns was extreme, leading to her death two months after the attack due to the sustained injuries.

The case is being investigated as a possible gender-based crime, since the victim was a young pregnant woman. Indian authorities are working to identify and locate those responsible for this brutal attack.

This incident occurs in a concerning context of violence against women in India, where cases of fire attacks against women continue to be reported frequently. The death of Manjeet Kaur caused outrage on social media and reignited the debate about women's safety in the country.
