MORADABAD: After the horrific gang-rape and hanging of two sisters in the Badaun district of Uttar Pradesh, a similar case came to light on Thursday as yet another young girl was found hanging from a tree after allegedly being raped, NDTV reports.



The family of the 16-year-old, missing since the Wednesday evening, claims she was raped and hanged from a tree. She was found hanging from a tree this morning outside Rajupur Milak village in Moradabad district.



The latest incident comes after the brutal gang rape and murder of two minors in Badaun a fortnight back. Two young Dalit girls were found hanging from a mango tree the next day after they were raped and murdered.



The gruesome rape and murder of the teenage Dalit girls has created a furore and invited widespread condemnation from various leaders in the country.



According to reports, the CBI will now register a FIR on Badaun gangrape case in Uttar Pradesh, India Today reports.



A 20-member team from Delhi will leave for the state on Friday.



Crimes against women in the state have witnessed a spurt in recent days, leading to the opposition demand for the resignation of the Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party government.



In another shocking case, on Wednesday, a middle-aged woman was found hanging in a Bahraich village, police said. Though the family alleged rape and subsequent murder, a police officer said the post-mortem report has inferred nothing like this.



The incident took place in Loniyapurwa village.



Also, on Thursday morning, reports of a woman allegedly raped inside a police station emerged.



The incident took place Monday when the woman went to meet her husband, detained in connection with a case, in Sumerpur police station of Hamirpur district.



The Uttar Pradesh government was severely criticised for the failure of state's law and order machinery in the state after the brutal Badaun gangrape case.



Following many such incidents, the state government recently effected a major bureaucratic reshuffle, transferring over 100 police and administrative officials. (With inputs from agencies)
