In a chilling development in Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur district, authorities are investigating a horrific crime after a headless and naked woman’s body was discovered on the Kanpur-Delhi highway at Gujaini early Wednesday morning. The disturbing find has led to fears of a brutal rape and murder, with the body callously discarded on the busy roadway.
The victim’s identity remains unknown, prompting an urgent search for clues that could reveal her background. Police are combing through CCTV footage from nearby areas to piece together her last moments and to determine whether the victim was a local resident or from another region.
The gruesome discovery was made in the evening, following reports of a woman of similar description seen walking along the highway earlier that day. The body has been sent for a postmortem examination to ascertain the cause of death and confirm the circumstances surrounding the incident.
In response to the crime, political figures have voiced their concerns. Akhilesh Yadav, leader of the Samajwadi Party and Lok Sabha MP, condemned the incident and criticized the state government for its handling of crimes against women. “This horrifying case highlights a severe lapse in ensuring women’s safety,” Yadav said. “The investigation must be thorough, and justice must be served to deter such heinous acts in the future.”
The authorities are working to determine if the case involves foul play or if other factors contributed to the woman’s death. As the investigation unfolds, the focus remains on uncovering the truth behind this disturbing crime and bringing those responsible to justice.
