 A 21-year-old woman who had alleged gang-rape by eight men including a Samajwadi Party legislator in 2013, was found dead at her village in Uttar Pradesh's Sultanpur on Saturday night. The police suspect she was strangled.

Samajwadi lawmaker Arun Verma, who was cleared by the police in the investigation, has hit out at allegations that he had a role, calling it a political conspiracy during elections in the state. "I demand a CBI investigation in this case," he said.

Mr Verma has been named in a complaint filed by the woman's father.

The father says that around 7 pm on Saturday, the woman went to use the washroom and didn't return. The family dialed the police, who found her body after searching the area.

Though he has named the lawmaker, an FIR or formal complaint is yet to be registered. On Sunday evening, a forensic team had visited the spot where the woman was found dead.

A case of gang-rape was filed against the Samajwadi party politician and seven others on the woman's complaint in 2013.

During investigations, it was found that Mr Verma's phone was in Lucknow at the time of the incident. His name was not included in the police charge-sheet and, along with three others, he was later absolved of any involvement.

The woman had reportedly changed her statement a few times in court.

Her father said they were given police protection on a High Court order but it was later withdrawn. The case is still in court.
