The half-naked body of a 20- year-old woman was found in a forest near Kotla, 70 kms from here, following which her maternal uncle was arrested for allegedly killing her, police said today. The woman, a resident of Shahpur town of the district, was found dead yesterday. Her half-naked body was recovered from the forest, bringing back memories of the brutal gang rape and murder of a schoolgirl at Kotkhai in Shimla in July last year. According to the SP, Santosh Patial, a case was registered under IPC Section 302 (murder), and the accused man, who is the deceased's maternal uncle, was arrested today.
