KANPUR: The post-mortem report of the 22-year-old girl, who was found murdered near an under-construction nullah on the Kanpur-Allahabad national highway under the limits of Maharajpur police station of the district on Thursday, has stated that she was assaulted and then strangulated by her tormentors. Police said the report has ruled out sexual assault.
The girl had left her house in Nazirabad police circle for Kanpur Central railway station to board Delhi-bound Shramshakti Express on December 9 evening to visit her elder brother in the national capital.

However, when she did not reach her brother’s place on December 10, her family members launched a search and later lodged a missing complaint with Nazirabad police station as well as GRP, Kanpur Central.
On Thursday evening, they were informed by the police about an identified body recovered by the side of the wall of an under-construction nullah.
Inspector Nazirabad Manoj Raghvanshi said, “Going by the autopsy report, the girl was assaulted and then strangulated. We are investigating the case from all angles.”
“As of now, a case has been registered against unidentified assailant/s under the Indian Penal Code sections for killing and other offences and investigations are continuing,” he added. The autopsy report has ruled out sexual assault.
Tempers, meanwhile, ran high outside the post-mortem house on Friday, when the girl’s family members and other relatives protested and refused to cremate the body till all the accused are arrested.
On coming to know about the development, SSP Anant Deo and BJP MLA Surendra Maithani went to the mortuary and pacified them by assuring prompt action into the case.
The SSP said, “Separate police teams have been formed and are conducting investigation for a breakthrough on the basis of electronic surveillance and forensic inputs. The culprits would be nabbed soon.”
