On September 8, inspector in-charge of Ayodhya Cantt railway station Pappu Yadav was sent to the police lines after failing to get any breakthrough in the case even nine days after the attack.

The 43-year-old woman constable was found in a pool of blood on the train. She had suffered severe injuries and was undergoing treatment at the KGMU trauma centre.

The STF was roped in after the Allahabad High Court took suo moto cognisance of the case and asked the state police authorities what action was taken regarding it.

The cop hails from Prayagraj and is posted at 181 Women Helpline Cell in Sultanpur. She was assigned for Sawan Mela duty in Ayodhya on August 30.

On the complaint of the woman’s brother, an FIR was lodged under sections 307 (attempt to murder), 353 (assault or criminal force to deter a public servant from discharging duty) and 332 (voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant from duty) of the IPC against unidentified persons.
