She disappeared in the middle of the night – she never came home
An 11-year-old girl was raped and murdered in Uttar Pradesh's Unnao district.
Her father woke up in the middle of the night to find the girl, who was sleeping outside her house, missing, on Friday.
"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.
The girl's naked body was found later; it bore injury marks around her neck and genitalia.
Unnao Superitendent of Police M.P. Verma said that a case of rape and murder under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) has been registered. He said teams had been formed to arrest the accused and the body had been sent for post mortem.
