The young woman's decomposing body was dug out from an empty piece of land near the ashram in the name of Fateh Bahadur Singh, who was a minister in the Samajwadi Party government of Akhilesh Yadav in 2012-17.
The body of a 22-year-old Dalit woman, who went missing two months ago from Uttar Pradesh's Unnao, has been found in a pit near an ashram constructed by a Samajwadi Party leader. The grisly find could not have come at a worse time for Samajwadi chief Akhilesh Yadav, who is facing attacks from the BJP in the middle of the UP election.
The woman's family refused to cremate her for hours, demanding action against the Samajwadi politician's son, who is the main suspect.

"The person who they are saying belongs to the Samajwadi Party died four years ago. Police should answer why they took so many days to act on the matter. We are with the victim's family and their demands should be fulfilled," Akhilesh Yadav told ANI.
