Hyderabad: A 35-year-old tribal woman, who was brutally assaulted and gang-raped near the Edupayala temple in Kulcharam mandal of Medak district, died while being shifted to Gandhi Hospital on Saturday night, October 11.

According to police, the woman was found earlier in the day tied to a tree in an unconscious state with multiple injuries, including a fracture to her hand.

Preliminary inquiries revealed that the accused had hired her for labour work from Medak town on Friday morning, but instead of taking her to the work site, they took her to an isolated spot near the temple, where they allegedly beat and raped her.

Local residents, upon discovering the woman in distress, immediately alerted the police.
