Lucknow, Feb 13: A 22-year-old woman, who had accused Samajwadi Party MLA Arun Verma of raping her along with some other youth in 2013, was found murdered near her house in Sultanpur, police said on Monday.
Police said the injury mark around her neck suggested that she was strangled to death. The body has been sent for postmortem to ascertain the cause of death.
The woman had alleged that the local MLA, who is also the SP's Sultanpur candidate for the February 27 polls, and some others had gangraped her in September 2013.
At one stage, the woman had withdrawn her allegation and some local youths were charge sheeted in the police investigation. The trial in the case is still continuing.
Police is probing the matter and going through call records of the woman.

Put that criminal MLA behind bar.....punish him with death....he is not supposed to walk around freely....no humanity, killing like dogs....
I smell hands of sangh parivar in this murder to blame SP in view of election. BJP is master in such crooks. They can kill their own party members to get sympathy vote. Let truth come forward in this murder case.
