Girl murdered, hanged from tree in U.P. village
A teenaged girl was allegedly abducted, gang-raped, murdered and the body hanged from a tree in the Nanpara area here.
The incident has triggered outrage, prompting the authorities to swing into action.
4 constables suspended
Four constables have been suspended for dereliction of duty and two of the three accused named by the victim’s father have been arrested so far, police said.
The incident took place on Friday when the 15-year-old girl went missing and her body was found hanging from a tree outside the village, they said.
Police suspect the body was hanged from a tree to give an impression that she committed suicide.
An FIR has been registered on a complaint by the victim’s father against Imran, Sarvjeet Yadav and Ghanshyam Maurya for abducting, raping and killing his daughter.
He alleged that the three had tried to abduct the victim earlier also but failed.
Superintendent of Police Salik Ram Verma said the body had been sent for post-mortem and whether she was raped could be confirmed only after the report was received.
Police arrested Sarvjeet Yadav on Saturday night and Imran on Sunday, while a hunt was on for the third accused.
Similar to Badaun case
The incident revives memories of the Badaun case in which two teenaged girls of a family were allegedly gang-raped, killed and hanged from a tree at Katra village in May 2014, triggering a massive public outcry.
Later, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which was entrusted with the probe into the incident, ruled out rape of the two girls.
