Last week, in a separate incident, the body of a woman with burn marks and suspected to have been strangled was found in a sugarcane field in Bijnor. A two-year-old girl was found crying beside it, according to police.
A dupatta was tied around the 25-year-old woman’s neck, leading police to suspect that she was strangled. Burn marks were also found on her body.
Police were also unable to immediately establish the identities of the woman and the child.
