The woman has accused two persons, including a 19-year-old teenager, from the town of raping her last month.
A case was registered on the basis of her complaint, the official said.
The woman has accused the police of laxity in probing the matter and claimed that one of the accused even pressured her to withdraw her complaint.
But inspector Udayvir Singh Malik, in-charge of Kosikalan police station, claimed that the accused were absconding.
Today, the woman reached the police station in Kosikal town and poured kerosene on her body. She then tried to burn herself but she was prevented by police officials.
Police officials said there were doubts over the woman's allegations. However, they said, a probe was on.
