A 35-year-old woman was found dead in her own home, her body charred in Etah early on Monday morning. The mother of three had allegedly been gang-raped by three men from a local influential family. Before they took off, they set her on fire.
"Five persons first tried to strangle my sister, and then raped her. Since my sister recognised them, they poured kerosene over her. When she was nearly dead, they ran away," says Viresh, standing outside the police station where he had come to register a police case.
