On May 31, a missing person complaint was filed by the parents of the girl. The body of her was found later from a dump over five days later.
The body was found not that far from the child’s home and was in a horrible state with her eyes gouged out.
The family members of the minor girl had staged protests over the brutal murder and also alleged inaction by the police. A report by a media portal suggests that it was the girl’s parents who handed over the suspect to the police.
