Lucknow: The controversy surrounding the autopsy of a woman gang raped and murdered near Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh last week turned murkier on Wednesday with the opposition parties accusing the government and police of a whitewash job.

The 32-year-old woman was brutally gang raped and then killed in Mohanlalganj on the outskirts of state capital Lucknow last Thursday. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has ordered a probe into the lacunae in the autopsy report of the woman. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday upped the ante on the case and accused the state government of trying to "bury the controversial case in a jiffy".
