Investigations revealed the family of the accused Anwar and the deceased minor girl live nearby. The interrogation of the accused revealed that the accused was having a dispute with the girl’s brother. The girl’s brother had beaten up the accused some time ago. To avenge this, Anwar killed his sister.
Anwar told the police that to take revenge on the girl’s brother, he took the girl about a kilometer away from her house, where he killed her. After getting the information, the police recovered the body and the forensic team reached the spot and investigated the incident.
According to the police, the post-mortem revealed strangulation and a fracture of the head. Reportedly, Anwar smashed her head with a stone. Although no evidence of sexual harassment has been found, nothing is ruled out before the probe is completed. The police had registered a case on the basis of a missing complaint. Later, the police registered a case of murder and arrested the accused.
Initially, accused Anwar made another person named Raja Babu an accused of murder and tried to mislead the police, but the investigation did not find the involvement of Raja Babu.
