Mainpuri, Oct 9 :A pregnant girl, who was allegedly raped three months ago, has been burnt alive in Uttar Pradesh’s Mainpuri district.

The police have lodged an FIR against three people and efforts are underway to arrest them.

According to the girl’s mother, her daughter was raped by one Abhishek, who lives in the same village, three months ago, but the victim did not reveal her ordeal to her family.

Later, the girl complained of severe stomach pain and it was found that she was pregnant.
