The autopsy report of an unidentified woman, whose badly mutilated body was found yesterday from a school in Uttar Pradesh's capital Lucknow, will be handed over to the concerned authorities on Friday.
After taking note of media reports in connection with the alleged gang-rape and murder case, the state government has suspended Inspector Kamruddin and an ASI for negligence. Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Chief Secretary Alok Ranjan has swung into action and called an emergency meeting of top officials, including Principal Secretary Home and the Director General of Police.
“Blunt objects such as wooden stick were thrust inside vaginal and anal area to inflict pain,“ a doctor from the panel was quoted as saying. The panel has reportedly concluded that as the victim started bleeding excessively the men dragged her to a classroom and continued abusing her sexually.
A panel of six doctors, which examined the body, has reportedly confirmed laceration in anal and vaginal areas. The panel, which includes forensic experts and a female doctor, also noted a total of 12 injuries, abrasions and contusions on the corpse with maximum severity doled out below abdomen.

The men seem to have dealt lathi blows on her face, chest and waist and on legs and drove a stick into her private parts.
The 25-year-old woman's body, lying in a pool of blood, was spotted by local people just six kilometres from a village that former US president Bill Clinton had visited on Monday. The police claimed that she was killed last night at the government-run school in the city's Bahadurkheda area, where there had been tight security for Clinton's visit.
The woman was allegedly stripped and stabbed several times. There were stab wounds even on her private parts, the police said after preliminary examination of the body.
The woman has not been identified and the police are trying to match her with missing person records.The case reminds us of the horrific gang-rape and brutal torture of a young paramedical student by a group of six men in a moving car in the national capital in December 2012.
A spurt in gang-rapes and crimes against women in the Samajwadi Party-ruled state has ben a major cause of embarrassment for the Akhilesh Yadav government. In May, two minor Dalit sisters' dead bodies were found hanging from a tree in the Badaun district. The girls, who were cousins, were allegedly gang-raped, beaten and hanged alive which garnered international attention.

Additional reports: Woman raped in car; BSP leader's son arrested
In a shocking incident, the son of a Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader was arrested on Tuesday for the alleged abduction and rape of a 22-year old woman in a car here. While Naseer Hyder, 23, has been arrested, a hunt is on for three other men allegedly involved in the incident.
The victim was sitting with her male friend in a car near her apartment on Thursday midnight when four men alighted from another car. The men reportedly posed as cops and forcibly got into their vehicle and drove them away, a police official said.
Both were taken to a nearby railway track where three men forced the woman's friend out of the car, while the fourth allegedly raped her in the vehicle, the official involved in the probe said.
He said the gang had also demanded Rs 50,000 from the duo, which they did not have.
The man who allegedly sexually assaulted the girl was arrested and a case booked against him under various sections of IPC, including Section 377 (unnatural offences), 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 376 (punishment for rape). The complaint was lodged on Sunday.
