While the post-mortem reports have confirmed that the two minor cousins of Katra Sadatganj village in Badaun district were raped, the findings also suggest that they were both alive when they were hanged from a tree.

According to the reports, accessed by The Indian Express, the cause of death was identified as asphyxia "due to ante mortem hanging", meaning the girls were alive when they were hanged.

Sources said the findings indicated "post-mortem staining" -- a bluish discolouration due to distention of blood vessels -- only on the lower part of the body, including the abdomen, back and legs. This indicates the position of the body at the time of death, said officials linked to the examination.
