The Dalit woman was assaulted by four men on September 14.

Lucknow:

A forensic report on the young Dalit woman from Hathras in Uttar Pradesh, who died days after being assaulted by a group of men, said there were no signs suggesting intercourse, confirming the state police version that she was not raped or gang raped.

The final report from Agra’s Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) states that the samples did not contain semen.

Uttar Pradesh police claimed last Thursday that the forensic report of the 20-year-old’s viscera proved that she had not been raped or gang-raped. “The autopsy report says the victim died from his neck injury. The FSL report did not find any semen in the samples, which clearly shows that some people have twisted the question to stir up tension. based on castes. These people will be identified and legal proceedings will be taken, “said Prashant Kumar, a senior UP police official.

The woman’s samples were sent to Agra’s forensic lab 11 days after the incident and experts say sperm would no longer be present in the samples at that time.

His samples were collected on September 22 from a hospital in Aligarh and sent to the Agra forensic laboratory three days later, on September 25, according to the forensic report.

The woman was assaulted by four men from the so-called upper caste community in her village on September 14. She was found by her family in the fields, naked, bleeding, with multiple fractures and a gash on her tongue. Police said her tongue was cut because she bit it as her attackers tried to strangle her.

Yogi Adityanatth’s government turned the matter over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Yogi Adityanath’s government faced huge criticism over the handling of the case by the police. Not only did the woman’s family accused them of laxity and delay, but their decision to move the body from a Delhi hospital regardless of appeals from her grieving family was broadcast in national media. Their widely reported cremation at 2:30 a.m. sparked shock and outrage.
