New Delhi: A 14-year-old girl was gang-raped and murdered by two men in Outer-North district’s Narela Industrial Area. The victim had been missing since February 12.
According to the reports, the matter came to light after the victim’s family member lodged a missing complaint at the local PS on February 15. Following this, police registered a case and conducted raids but failed to trace the girl.
On Saturday, police received a call from a shop owner who complained of a foul smell in his store and alleged that one of his workers was missing. The shop owner had been in Jhansi and had returned on Saturday.
A police team went to the shop and found the girl’s body dumped in a gunny bag amid cow dung cakes.
While one of the suspects, 32, was arrested from the village on Sunday night, the second, who worked and lived in the manufacturing unit, is on the run, said police.
During interrogation, the accused revealed that he worked at the shop where the body was dumped and had called a friend to the shop on February 12. The duo consumed liquor in the evening and allegedly planned to rape the girl who lives nearby. They had called the minor on the pretext of giving her work and allegedly raped her.
