In March, the woman had filed a first information report against two men from her paternal village in Unnao, accusing them of raping her and also filming the act. The FIR was filed in the neighbouring Rae Bareli district reportedly after the intervention of a local court.
"In her FIR, the woman said that one of the two rape-accused was in relationship with her in 2018 but he physically exploited her, lured her with a marriage proposal. Later, he refused to get married and raped her with another friend," SK Bhagat, senior police officer from Lucknow, told reporters today.

"One of the accused was sent to jail. He was released on bail on November 30. The two men set the 23-year-old alive to take revenge," he added. The other accused was on the run. Cops claim they had attached his property and lookout notices were issued against him.
Amid attacks by the opposition parties over the incident, the state government has told the police to ensure "maximum punishment" for the accused. The Yogi Adityanath government has also sought a report from the state police on the matter, adding that it will fund the woman's treatment.

UP Director General of Police OP Singh told NDTV: "Our first priority is to save the woman. The criminal justice system has three-four compartments but we do not work like that. I do not want to blame anyone. The fact is that we did arrest one of the accused. I will get more facts on the case but I am sure that the local police would have opposed the bail application of the rape-accused."
The incident has prompted sharp attacks on the ruling BJP by the opposition. In a tweet, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi said the BJP "should stop spreading false propaganda". "Yesterday, the home minister of the country and the Uttar Pradesh chief minister clearly lied that law and order in Uttar Pradesh has improved. Seeing such incidents everyday angers the mind. BJP leaders should stop spreading false propaganda," Ms Gandhi wrote in Hindi.

The Nationalist Congress Party's Supriya Sule also commented on the incident in a series of tweets. "Extremely sad and shocked to hear that that Unnao Rape victim was burnt earlier this morning. If the culprits were not shielded and prosecuted on time this wouldn't have happened. Complete state of Lawlessness in the state of Uttar Pradesh...." she wrote.

If the State government can't give justice to the victim, this case needs to be transferred to the Centre for further investigation... (2/3) #Unnao

@PMOIndia - The Central government speaks about - 'Beti Bachao - Beti Padhao', however, this seems to be a mere slogan if the daughters of our Nation are not protected.. (3/3)

Rajya Sabha MP and Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav said: "President's rule should be imposed in UP where Jungle Raj is prevalent. There is no law and order in the state."
Unnao BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj said the incident was "unfortunate". "The Unnao incident is really unfortunate. I have used all my power so that the investigation is done and the accused get punishment. The accused in such heinous crimes should get capital punishment," he was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
