An eight-year-old girl was reportedly raped and murdered in Bulandshahr district after a known acquaintance lured her into an isolated location, police have disclosed. The assailant took the child to a plot approximately 500 meters away from her residence, subjected her to sexual assault, and subsequently struck her head with an iron rod, resulting in her death before fleeing the scene.
The child went absent on Friday afternoon, prompting her family to initiate a search and notify the authorities. Upon receiving information regarding her disappearance, law enforcement promptly launched a search operation, ultimately recovering the victim's body around 2 am on Saturday, bearing injuries to her head. The case has been registered at the Sikandrabad police station under sections 103(1) (murder) and 238 (causing disappearance of evidence) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
The accused, Ravi Kashyap, who worked alongside the girl's father at the same factory, is a native of Tariyan village in the Kannauj district. Police are interrogating his spouse and conducting raids at potential locations to apprehend him. Further investigation is underway to ascertain the sequence of events, while the police have deployed teams to locate the accused.
The victim's family, originally hailing from Badaun district, transported her body to their ancestral village for post-mortem examination and the last rites following the autopsy.
