According to reports, the woman was on her way to the railway station to catch an early morning train to Rae Bareli when she was stopped by the accused. Then the accused persons hit her head and attacked with a sharp weapon on her neck. As the woman slumped, they poured kerosene on the body and then set her on fire.

Our words show our helplessness: Jaya Bachchan

Jaya Bachchan has alleged that "members are not even allowed to raise important questions in Parliament. We don't know what to do? If we end up using harsh words, questions are raised, but our words show our frustration only," she said.

 

Jaya Bachchan on Monday in Rajya Sabha had suggested "lynching" to be a possible solution to put an end to crimes like Hyderabad gang-rape and murder case.
