A woman is alleged to have had acid poured onto her genitals after she was gang raped in a school. Two men have been arrested and are currently being questioned following the rape in the Ghoorpur area of the district of Allahabad in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh State.

Panchraj was said to have had a year-long affair with the victim, a widowed mother-of-three who worked as a school cleaner. He was quoted as saying: ‘I had an affair with her. My marriage was arranged with someone else, so I distanced myself from her but she started pressuring me to be with her.

Panchraj is said to have lured her to a secluded part of the school grounds where they met with his accomplice and both men raped her. They are said to have splashed corrosive acid on to her genitals before running away.
