The discovery of a 23-year-old woman's body during by-poll voting in Mainpuri's Karhal area has sparked a political storm. Police have identified the victim as Durga, missing for two days, and found dead in a sack. Her family accuses political foul play behind the tragedy.

Mainpuri Superintendent of Police Vinod Kumar revealed that a case has been lodged against Prashant Yadav and Mohan Katheria, following allegations from the victim's family that the murder was intended to prevent her from voting for the BJP. The suspects have been apprehended, and investigations are ongoing.
