A 15 year old minor girl was gang raped and murdered by unidentified people in Telangana’s Ranga Reddy district, police said on Friday. The incident occurred on Thursday night near Vikarabad, about 75 km from here.
According to police, the 15-year-old girl was kidnapped by four people when she was travelling on a three wheeler along with her father from Vikarabad to their village Ijrachittampally.
Kamal and her daughter stopped by a borewell as the latter had wanted to quench her thirst, police said, adding that while they were drinking water, at least two assailants pounced upon Kamal. “They hit him on the head with a stone due to which he lost his consciousness. The assailants dragged the girl into an auto, in which three of their accomplices including the auto-driver were waiting, and sped away,” district SP M Srinivas said
After regaining consciousness the victim’s father lodged a police complaint.
The body of the victim was found near a hamlet in a forest area, hardly a km from where she was kidnapped. Police said the girl was murdered after the gang rape.
As the auto-rickshaw was not found on the scene, police suspect the involvement of the driver too.
Ranga Reddy district police have formed special teams to track down the culprits.
