28.03.2015, KANPUR: A 17-year-old deaf and dumb girl was allegedly raped and killed under the limits of Bhognipur police station.
Her semi-nude body was found in sugarcane fields of one Mahendra Kumar on Saturday morning. It appeared that the assailant had first raped the girl and then strangulated her to death with 'dupatta.'
A local, who was passing through the way spotted the body and immediately apprised her parents, who informed the local police.
A police team led by Circle Officer Alok Sharma rushed to the sin pot and shifted the body to the post-mortem house at the district Hospital.
Sharma said that preliminary investigation indicated sexual assault on the victim. However, rape would be confirmed only in autopsy. "It is too early to arrive at any conclusion. We have sent the body to the mortuary. Once the rape is confirmed, we will add the section of rape in the case. But for the time being we are registering a case of murder against unidentified assailant," he said.
Victim's father said that she had gone to attend a religious discourse on Friday evening. From there she went to answer nature's call and never returned. "We searched for her in the village and nearby areas but in vain. We returned home late and decided to file a complaint with the police on Saturday morning," he said.
CO Sharma further said that few suspects had been picked up for questioning and the culprits would soon be behind the bars.
