Police said an FIR has been registered in connection with the incident.
"In 2018, they [the accused] were arrested in a rape case and now they were out on bail. The rape victim's family had complained that her brothers drink alcohol with the accused, which led to the scuffle between the two parties. She [rape victim's mother] battled for her life for seven to eight days [after being beaten up by the accused] and today she has passed away," Kanpur DIG was quoted as saying by India Today.
Police said three people have been arrested so far and search is on to nab the remaining of the attackers.
