In another incident that rocked Uttar Pradesh, a woman died by suicide in Ambedkar Nagar after she was allegedly gang-raped. The case sparked outrage after the woman's father claimed that the police initially refused to include sections of gangrape in the FIR, and added sections of abetment of suicide instead.

On August 17, three men took the woman outside her village and gang-raped her. They then threw her near a school and fled. Her father learnt about her location from a resident who rang him up and took her home. The woman narrated the ordeal to her family, filed a complaint, and hours later, died by suicide.
