According to the police, two of the accused persons identified as Bablu Paswan and Bittu Paswan have been arrested and a manhunt has been launched to nab the third.
Not the only incident
In recent years there has been an increase in the number of sexual assaults, in which the victim is violently mutilated, often inserting objects or injuring their private parts, resulting in their deaths.
In Badaun too the 50-year-old woman's legs and ribs were broken while her lungs were attacked with a heavy object.
The autopsy has revealed that an iron rod was inserted into the woman's private parts, resulting in heavy bleeding.

The woman had gone to the village temple, where she was sexually assaulted by three men including the priest and two of his associates.
The matter came to light that night itself when the priest and his accomplices took the body of the victim to her house, saying it was found in a dry well on the temple premises.
While two of the accused were arrested by the police, the main culprit, the priest identified as Mahant Satya Narayan had fled.
He was arrested by the police on Thursday night from the house of a follower, where he was hiding.
