In a tragic incident, a 21-year-old woman, who had accused a youth last week of raping her on the promise of marriage, has tried to hang herself to death at her home in Markundi police station area, Chitrakoot village an official said on Friday.
In a note found in her house, where she attempted suicide, the woman said she was taking the extreme step because none of the accused has so far been arrested, he said. She said she was also fed up of insults heaped on her by villagers, he added.

The woman attempted suicide on Wednesday by hanging from the ceiling but a Dial 112 team, which rushed to her home on information by family members, saved her by breaking open the door, a senior police official said.
