Another girl found hanging

Moradabad: Yet another teen has been found hanging from a tree a two-hour drive away in the Moradabad area. The 16-year-old’s family alleges she was raped and murdered after she went missing on Wednesday evening. Just a couple of days ago, two girls were found hanging from a tree in Badaun in UP, after being raped.

Only on Wednesday, the prime minister said in Parliament, “Respecting and protecting women should be priority of the 1.25 billion people in this country.”

But on the same day, a 45-year-old woman was found hanged from a tree near the Nepal border in UP. Police have opened a murder investigation and await the findings of a post-mortem to determine whether the victim was raped before her death.
