In a crime that has sent shivers down the spine of residents of Uttar Pradesh, a 35-year-old woman was allegedly gang-raped by five men and later burnt alive in the 'yagyashala' of a temple near her house in UP's Sambhal district.
According to her husband, the victim had called up UP Police's Dial-100 emergency service minutes before she was burnt alive, but her call went unanswered. No arrest had been made till the time of filing this report.
The ghastly crime was committed in a village under Rajpura police station in the early hours of Saturday. The woman has two children and her husband works as a labourer in Ghaziabad.
Police said that the victim was sleeping when her attackers barged into her house and brutalized her. Cops have registered an FIR against five men and have booked them for gang rape and murder.
According to the police, the incident occurred at 2.30 am on Saturday.
TOI has also accessed an audio clip of the last call she had made to her cousin where she makes a mention of her failed attempt to approach police.
"All the five accused barged into my house finding my wife alone around 2.30 am on Saturday. They took turns to rape her. It was raining heavily and only a kerosene lamp was lit in the room at that time.
