Bihar woman found hanging on tree not gangraped: Post mortem

A post mortem has found that the woman who was found hanging from a tree in Bhagalpur had not been gangraped, an NDTV report says. The police now suspect that the woman killed herself. Police initially said the 32-year-old victim, who was a passenger of the Brahmaputra Mail that was travelling to the national capital, was dragged to the mango orchard and gang-raped by unidentified persons after she alighted from the train between Vikramshila and Kahalgaon stations.

The victim, who hails from New Jalpaiguri in West Bengal, took the train from Alipore to Delhi, along with her son. As the train was jam packed, she tried to get down at Sahibganj but was prevented from doing so by co-passengers, ASP, Bhagalpur, Meenu Kumari said. When the train slowed down between Vikramshila and Kahalgaon stations, she jumped out. It is not clear why she took this step. Liquor bottles were found at the spot, Kumari said. A railway ticket and cellphone number of her village pradhan written on a piece of paper were recovered from the victim’s possession, police added. with inputs from PTI
