MUMBAI (Reuters) - Police in India said on Sunday they were looking for five men after a 35-year-old woman was gang raped and burned alive in the northern city of Sambhal, the latest registered rape in a country that sees hundreds of cases of sexual violence against women each year.
Varun Kumar, an inspector at the Rajpura police station in Sambhal in the state of Uttar Pradesh, said a case had been filed against the five men, who they said had barged into the woman's home at around 2.30 a.m. on Saturday and raped her, then burnt her body and dumped it at a temple nearby.
