A video allegedly showing a woman being sexually assaulted by two men in Uttar Pradesh's Kannauj has reportedly gone viral on the social media. The woman's family registered a case on Sunday evening alleging that the video, which was shot on a mobile phone, was uploaded by the accused.

"If the accused are not hanged or given life imprisonment, we will give up our lives," victim's sister was quoted as saying by ANI.

The accused identified as Talib and Salman gang-raped the woman near a well in the locality on April 24 of which the woman did not inform her family due to fear of defamation.

The incident came to light when the men uploaded an explicit video of the act on social media, following which the woman along with her family immediately filed a case with the local police.

The police informed that the case has been registered and the accused men will be caught soon. Further investigation is underway.
