NEW DELHI: Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra lashed out at the BJP after the body of a missing Dalit woman was found in a desolate canal in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya, and demanded strict action against the culprits and the police officers who have been accused of inaction.

The body of a 22-year-old Dalit woman, who was missing since Thursday, was found unclothed in a desolate canal near her village in Ayodhya on Saturday. Her family members claimed that her eyes were missing and that the body bore deep wounds and fractures.

The woman's body bore deep wounds, with her eyes gouged out, her face and skull were severely injured, and her limbs bound with rope, officials said.
