As per reports, the crime took place on the night of 3rd February. The accused had reportedly seen pornographic videos on his mobile phone before committing the crime.
According to reports, the 19-year-old boy killed his 17-year-old sister by strangulating her as he feared that she would expose him. The accused lived with his mother and sister as their father passed away a few years ago.
