Baghpat: A seven-year-old girl was found dead on a farm in Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat district, with her family members alleging that she was murdered after being raped, a claim denied by police.

Additional Superintendent of Police Manish Mishra said the girl had gone missing from her home in a village in Singhavali police station area under mysterious circumstances on Saturday.

“When the girl did not return till late evening, the family members started searching for her. Late in the night, her body was found in a sugarcane field. Police reached the spot after getting information, and sent the body for post-mortem,” Mishra said.

The post-mortem report does not confirm rape, the additional SP said.

Based on the complaints lodged by the family members of the girl, a case has been registered against neighbour Manoj and his wife. Manoj has been taken into custody and is being interrogated, police said.

  1. Yeh sab chalta hai in India. These acts happen regularly and more and more are enjoying these acts. In fact this is sponsored by netas, politicians and law agencies as this is pleasure at no cost. We have seen so many cases, these animals get immediate bail as the horde of black coated worthies say the victim invited the act and courts agree. This is India. Ever eager courts gave extension to Nirbhaya animals with skewed up judgement and the most sickening part , this act says no financial compensation to victim. Jai
    Hind. Has any neta talked about justice to victim . No Never
