{{A 19-year-old woman has been found hanging from a tree in a village in northern India, the third such case in weeks in Uttar Pradesh state.}}<\/p>\n

The body was found in the Moradabad area, three hours’ drive from Delhi. Her family told police she was raped. A post mortem examination is under way.<\/p>\n

Another woman was found hanged from a tree in Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Last month the gang rape and murder of two girls found in similar circumstances sparked outrage in India.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, a 44-year-old woman was found hanging from a tree in the Bahraich area.<\/p>\n

Police said she had been threatened by locals for selling liquor in the area and her family filed a case naming five people connected to her death.<\/p>\n

Her family alleged she was gang raped, but her post mortem proved inconclusive.<\/p>\n

But it was the case on 29 May of two teenage girls gang raped and hanged in Badaun district that renewed a countrywide outcry over sexual violence.<\/p>\n

Three suspected attackers have been held in that case, along with two policemen accused of dereliction of duty and criminal conspiracy.<\/p>\n

Uttar Pradesh is home to 200 million people, which has led some here to describe it as the world’s largest failing state, reports the BBC’s Andrew North in Delhi.<\/p>\n

India’s new Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said protecting women should be a priority.<\/p>\n

Scrutiny of sexual violence in India has grown since the 2012 gang-rape and murder of a student on a Delhi bus.<\/p>\n

The government tightened laws on sexual violence last year after widespread protests following the attack.<\/p>\n
