PRAYAGRAJ, April 28 -- Police have taken a juvenile into custody in connection with the rape and murder of a woman whose body was found hanging from a tree in a mango orchard under the Manikpur police station area of Pratapgarh. The accused, who allegedly committed the crime along with accomplices, will be sent to a juvenile reform home after completion of legal formalities. The incident came to light after the woman, a resident of a village in the Manikpur area, went missing on Saturday night while she was sleeping on the veranda of her house. On Sunday morning, her body was found hanging from a tree in a nearby orchard, around 200 metres from her home. Initial examination revealed signs of a violent assault. Subsequent investigation and post-mortem findings confirmed that the woman had been raped and then murdered by suffocation. Based on a complaint lodged by the victim's brother, police registered a case against unknown persons and launched an investigation. During the probe, police analysed phone activity linked to the victim's father's mobile phone on the night of the incident. This led them to a teenage relative of the victim, who was suspected to be involved in the crime along with two associates. Acting on specific intelligence, police teams conducted a raid near the Lahedari Ganga Bridge. The juvenile tried to flee after spotting the police but was chased and apprehended. Sub-inspector Amit Kumar Singh who arrested the juvenile said further legal procedures are underway and the accused will be produced before the competent authority and sent to a juvenile reform home. Investigation is continuing to establish the role of other suspects involved in the crime....
