from where she was to catch a bus to Bareilly, where she met the two
accused.'
Another
police spokesman, Yamuna Prasad added: 'Her child had been sick for
some time and she went to visit her sister to meet a tantrik (a Buddhist
healer).
'She
was returning when she met the two accused at the bus station. She was
allegedly raped inside the bus at the bus station. Later, she found her
child dead.'
Police say her daughter, who hid in a
corner of the bus, was the only witness as two men raped her mother. She
has since given an account of the harrowing ordeal
The distraught woman was taken to hospital where she is receiving medical attention.
According to the Times of India, her baby was killed when attackers threw him to the ground.

little girl managed to slip out of the bus without the attackers
seeing. She was later found beside her unconscious mother by the side of
the road.
The attack is just one of several recently reported cases of rape against women or children in India.
