Kanpur: A 40-year-old woman from Allahabad was allegedly raped by three men who also poured acid on her face before dumping her on the tracks close to Kanpur Railway Station, police said today.
The survivor was found with severe damage to one of her eyes, burns on her face and neck yesterday afternoon, police said. The trio threw acid on her face and eyes apparently to prevent her from identifying them, they said.
"The victim has been hospitalised. She cannot speak due to facial acid burns and one of her eyes has been severely damaged," Kanpur Senior Superintendent of Police Shalabh Mathur said.
"The victim, through signs, told us that she was raped by at least three men in the wee hours of Friday. Later, the men threw acid on her face and dumped her near the track," the Mr Mathur said.
Further interrogations will be carried out when the survivor is able to speak. The medical report is still awaited, he said.
Some locals claimed the woman was a beggar and had come to Kanpur two days ago. Others said she came in search of work four days ago from Allahabad and was staying at a slum near the railway station, he added.
A case has been lodged at the Collectorgunj police station.
The police today suspended two constables, Mahendra Yadav and Sushil Kumar, for not providing immediate medical care to the survivor. There have been no arrests yet.
