The victim on Tuesday died at Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital two weeks after she was gangraped by four men in her village.
The girl was left paralysed with a spinal cord injury by the accused while her tongue was found cut.
The incident has sparked outrage with people demanding justice for the girl while politicians have targeted Adityanath for the alleged deteriorating law and order situation in his state.
Amid the outrage, Adityanath on Wednesday constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe into the heinous crime and also ordered a trial against the accused in a fast-track court.
