Mathura: At least 100 people have been booked for "snatching and burying" the body of a 26-year-old woman, who allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself, at Sahar village in Mathura, police said on Tuesday.

The body will be exhumed and postmortem will be conducted once the police receives permission from the District Magistrate, SP Rural Arun Kumar said, adding action will be taken against those involved in the incident.
