Woman hanged in UP village amid rape suspicion
Bahraich, UP, June 11 (IBNS) A 45-year-old woman was found hanging from a tree in a village in Uttar Pradesh's Bahraich district on Wednesday, triggering suspicion she has been gang-raped and then hanged from the tree like two girls in Badaun in recent past.
Behraich Superintendent of Police Happy Guptan said an FIR has been registered and the body of the woman has been sent for post-mortem and only after it was completed could be known if she was raped before being killed.
The woman's son alleged she was raped and then hanged from the tree. He said five men are responsible.
"She has been raped first," said the son.
Guptan said the post-mortem will be done by a panel of doctors.
Two weeks back two minor Dalit girls, both sisters in relation, were found hanging in a tree after their rape in Badaun. The incident sparked a massive protest against the ruling Samajwadi Party (SP) in UP led by Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav.
