A 16-year-old was allegedly raped and murdered in Assam. Her family said her face was smashed and body mutilated. The probe points to a possible love triangle.
In a tragic incident in Assam's Hailakandi district, a 16-year-old girl allegedly suffered rape and murder at her home. The gruesome crime has led to widespread protests and outrage across Assam's Barak Valley. Five individuals, including a minor, have been arrested in connection with the case, with police suggesting a possible love triangle as the motive behind the killing.
The investigation revealed that the victim was involved in romantic relationships with two of the accused, which may have triggered the murder. Her body was found in the Aloicherra area under Katlichera police station, showing signs of severe brutality, with her face smashed, head bludgeoned, and an object inserted into her private parts.
The victim's family demanded capital punishment for the accused and called for fast-track court proceedings. The case has also sparked protests, with residents blocking National Highway-6 and organizing candlelight marches and social media campaigns demanding justice.
