A 12-year-old girl was raped and bludgeoned to death allegedly in Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh on Friday. A case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act has been registered against unknown persons.
The incident came to light when her father could not find the girl, sleeping outside her house in Safipur. A search for the girl was launched in the night. The girl's naked body was found later which bore injury marks around her neck and private parts.
The victim's father said, "Initially, I thought that she might have gone to nearby fields to answer nature's call. However, when she did not return for long, I along with my family and neighbours launched a search and found my daughter's body lying in an orchard."
"Her head was badly crushed with bricks," he said.
Unnao Superintendent of Police MP Verma said that teams had been formed to arrest the accused and the body had been sent for post mortem.
