The woman, a mother of two children, died at the Malda Medical College and Hospital after battling for life since Tuesday when she was allegedly raped by the young man, Rabindra Mondal, when her husband was away from home at Basantatola village, police sources said.
Earlier, her husband had approached the kangaroo court and demanded punishment for the alleged rapist, but it merely directed that he seek forgiveness from the victim, the sources said.
