A 13-year-old girl in Uttar Pradesh has reportedly beheaded a five-year-old boy who is the son of her alleged rapist, reports Hindustan Times. The report says she lured the boy under some pretext and committed the crime as revenge.
Inspector Rajveer Singh at the Khair police station in Aligarh district claimed that the girl lured five-year-old Amit to a vacant plot before beheading him. The girl then smashed the body with bricks, wrapped it in a polythene bag and then set it on fire.
The crime came to light after a pack of dogs were found dragging the polythene cover in which the body was burnt, reports HT. When interrogated by the police, the girl confessed to committing the murder because the boy’s father, Rinku, had raped her.
Police have taken the girl into custody after registering an FIR. The girl’s father has also lodged an FIR of rape against Rinku, who has been taken into custody for investigation after recording the victim’s statement.
