MAU: A 35-year-old woman was allegedly raped in a moving train and pushed out of it, an incident which resulted in loss of her right leg in Mau district of Uttar Pradesh.


Though the rape was yet to be confirmed, a Government Railway Police (GRP) official said the woman fell from the running train and lost her right leg in the mishap. “We are looking into the matter and the guilty will not be spared,” GRP official Sudhir Singh said yesterday.


Villagers noticed the woman, who was screaming in pain, yesterday morning near Khazakhurd railway station. She was lying without clothes, indicating that she might have been raped before being tossed out of the compartment, they said.
