A 26-year-old woman working as a beautician was allegedly stabbed to death when she resisted a rape attempt in a moving car in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. Police have arrested two suspects in connection with the case, while one is yet to be nabbed.

How The Incident Unfolded

The beautician was called to wedding to apply henna by a man named Sudhanshu. Three men identified as Ajay, Vikas, and Aadarsh, picked her up along with her sister, in a red car, which was sent by Sudhanshu. They dropped them at the wedding venue, India Today reported.

After finishing their work, the two women departed from the venue with the same men who picked them up earlier in the day to get back home late at night. However, on their way back, the three men allegedly attempted to sexually assault both the deceased and her sister.

"They tried to sexually assault me and my sister in the moving car. When my sister resisted, one of the guys named Ajay stabbed her in her neck," the beautician's sister alleged, as reported by India Today.
