  "account": "Four individuals have been arrested in connection with the alleged rape and murder of a 15-year-old girl in an Assam village, police announced. Hailakandi SSP Amitab Sinha confirmed the detention of four persons for interrogation, stating that the sexual assault allegations are awaiting medical confirmation through a post-mortem examination. The incident occurred in the Aloichora area near National Highway-6 on Saturday evening, around 11 PM. The victim's mother recounted that she had attended a feast at a relative's house when the girl left for home around 10:30 PM after an argument with a cousin. Upon returning home an hour later, the family found the girl's body, almost unrecognizable, on the floor. She alleged that the attackers used utensils and other objects to mutilate the body after the assault, with the victim's face smashed, head bludgeoned, and a rod-like object inserted into her private parts. The family and local community have strongly condemned the heinous act, demanding capital punishment for the perpetrators and stricter measures to ensure the safety of young girls in the region.",
