An 18-year-old woman was found dead in a field in a village in Akrabad area, 30 kilometres from here, police said on Friday.
According to the victim's family, the teenager had gone to an agricultural field to relieve herself on Wednesday evening but did not return home.
The same evening, a villager spotted her body in the field about 500 metres from her home. Signs of struggle on her body led her family to suspect that she was sexually assaulted.
