Madhya Pradesh, Mar 19, 2019 : A 12-year old girl was kidnapped, gangraped and murdered allegedly by her brothers and uncle in Madhya Pradesh’s Sagar on March 14. Her body was found on the outskirts of the village on the same day, NDTV reported.

 

The family started looking for her when she did not return from school on March 13. Later her father filed a missing person complaint with the police in the district.

The police grew suspicious after the uncle alleged that one Chote Patel, who lives in same village, is behind the murder. Patel and the family were locked over land dispute, he told the police.

Alleging that the uncle tried to mislead the investigators, senior officer Amit Sanghi told NDTV that the "postmortem and medical report revealed that the girl was raped".

"Our two senior officers collected all evidence and recorded the statements of the family members. When everything was pieced together, we found that she was raped and murdered by her brothers and uncle. We arrested the uncle and one of the brothers," said Mr Sanghi, adding that blood-stained clothes and the murder weapon - a sickle - was also found. The police are yet to trace one of the accused brothers.

Describing the horrific sequence of events the officer said that one of the brothers had taken her to the uncle’s place when she was returning home after exams. The three men allegedly gangraped her and when she threatened to go to the police, her aunt allegedly strangled her, Mr Sanghi said. Later, the girl was beheaded and dumped in the fields.
