"She is in extremely critical condition and being examined by doctors," a spokesperson for Mount Elizabeth Hospital said.
The 23-year-old woman
spent days in intensive care after what police said was a rape and
beating December 16 on a moving bus in New Delhi.
Widespread anger over the
incident prompted massive anti-rape protests in the Indian capital over
the weekend. Riot police surrounded downtown streets as protesters plan
to take to the streets again Thursday.

Demonstrators are
demanding the government to set up fast-track courts for speedy trials
of rape cases in the country, said Ravi Rai, a student representative.
They are also seeking the dismissal of the New Delhi police commissioner for the crackdown on Sunday's protests.
"Despite massive protests
across Delhi and India, the government's assurances have been hollow
and smack of tokenism," said Neha Kaul Mehra, a student participant. "
Rather, the response -- the crackdown -- has been feudal."
