Haryana: Minor’s mutilated body found

Chandigarh: A shocking incident from Haryana’s Jind District is reported where a body of a minor 15-year-old girl was found with mutilated private parts. The girl was missing since January 9 from Kurukshetra.

Initial investigations reveal the girl was gang-raped and killed. The minor’s body was found near a canal in Budhakhera village of Jind district on Sunday, DNA reported.

Deputy SP Kaptan Singh in a statement said: “The body was found in the fields with injury marks. We have registered an FIR under Section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC),” adding two Special Investigation Teams (SIT) have been set-up for investigating the crime.

The Deputy SP added the deceased victim’s body was sent to Rohtak forensic lab for a postmortem. “It seems like she doesn’t belong to Jind district. Someone may have brought her here,” Singh said. The girl reportedly was missing since January 9 from Kurukshetra.

Meanwhile, Haryana’s Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar gave assurance that the culprits behind the crime will be arrested soon. He said: “Culprit has been identified and I am sure he will soon be nabbed.”

“My daughter was kidnapped and raped, culprits should be punished, we want justice for her. If the administration had done its job well, an incident like this would have never happened” said the father of the victim.
