UP: Naked body of teenage girl found in field; family alleges rape, murder
Auraiya (UP)(PTI): A 17-year-old girl's naked body was found in a millet field under Dibiyapur police station limits here on Monday, police said.
The girl's family has alleged that she was raped and murdered.
Her death took a political turn as the Congress uploaded a video on its Twitter handle, saying the police were "running away" with the body, an allegation denied by the authorities.
The girl's family members told the media that she had gone out in the morning to defecate but as she did not return home even after long, they launched a search for her and found her body in the field.
Auraiya Superintendent of Police (SP) Charu Nigam reached the village with forensic experts and deployed 10 police teams, including a Special Operations Group, to crack the case.
Meanwhile, the Congress shared a video of policemen carrying a body and a woman walking behind. The tweet in Hindi read, "In Auraiya, naked body of a 17-year-old girl was found in a field. The police arrived and began running away with the body in a hurry. The poor family is running behind. Uttar Pradesh is 'Number 1' in crimes against women. But nobody will call it 'junge raj'."
Refuting the allegations, SP Nigam said the policemen completed all legal formalities and took the body in possession after pacifying the family.
In no way has the body been forcibly taken, he added.
The officer said the post-mortem examination will be videographed and a case will be registered based on the family's complaint.

NEET student hangs self in Rajasthan's Sikar
Jaipur (PTI): A student preparing for the NEET examination allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in a rented room in Rajasthan's Sikar on Friday, police said.
According to the police, the student allegedly hanged himself from a ceiling fan using his sister's scarf while one sister was attending coaching classes and the other was in the bathroom.
He had appeared in the NEET UG exam 2026, which was cancelled due to paper leak, they said.
Udyog Nagar SHO Rajesh Kumar said that the deceased, identified as Pradeep Meghwal, was a resident of Kanika ki Dhani village in Jhunjhunu's Gudha Gaudji area.
He had been living in a rented room in Sikar's Jaldhari Nagar area with his two sisters while preparing for NEET over the last three years.
His elder sister later found him hanging and informed the landlord and police after bringing him down, officials said.
The SHO said the body was kept at SK Hospital mortuary, and a postmortem had not been conducted.
The student's father, Rajesh Kumar Meghwal, told police that Pradeep's NEET examination had gone well and the family was expecting him to score around 650 marks.
Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot expressed grief over the incident and linked it to anxiety among students after reports of irregularities and paper leaks in NEET 2026.
Pilot said repeated paper leak incidents and cancellation of examinations were affecting students' mental health and demanded a time-bound investigation and strict action against those responsible.
