Similar incident in Uttar Pradesh

Last year in October, a 30-year-old woman in Uttar Pradesh who was allegedly raped by her stepson, husband, and his friends wrote a letter to President Droupadi Murmu seeking death by euthanasia.
In her letter, she wrote that she had lost all hope in justice as the police had not arrested any of the accused.
