SEE PICS! UP: 50-year-old woman gang-raped and killed in Budaun district

A 50-year-old woman was gang-raped and murdered allegedly by three men including an occultist and his two disciples on Sunday night in western Uttar Pradesh's Budaun district.

Two men have been arrested and a case has been registered against them, police said. Images from the woman's village home taken on Monday morning, show her body laid out on a cot, surrounded by family members and other villagers.

A yellow sheet covering her lower body appears to be soaked in blood and one of her legs appears broken and bent at the foot.

"They brought her on their own in a vehicle. She was dead when they left her here. The occultist and others dropped her at the door and left quickly," the woman's son said in an interview to the local media on Monday afternoon.

On Sunday, she had left home around 5 pm and the men brought her back around 11:30 pm," her son is heard saying in the interview.

"The post mortem reports show minor injuries to private parts, there are tears and she has a fracture on one of her legs. There was excessive bleeding and the bleeding led to shock and that led to the patient's death. Prima facie we found evidence of rape," Dr Yashpal Singh, Chief Medical Officer, Budaun, said.
