Hazaribagh:
A teenager was raped and murdered after she was allegedly abducted by two men belonging to Matwari Bhuiyan Toli in Hazaribag district, a senior police officer said on Saturday.
The incident took place on Friday and the men, who were aged 20 and 22, were arrested after the girl’s body was found near a pond in Pakhi on Saturday morning, he said.
Two lawyers from the Hazaribagh court saw the body, raised the alarm and informed the police.
The two were arrested on the basis of the complaint lodged with the police by her family, the district police commissioner, Manoj Ratan Chothe said.
The accused, he said, had kidnapped the girl who was working as a maid when she got home from work.
However, her parents did not inform the police about her kidnapping until her body was found.
The two executioners, who are from the same place as the girl, were arrested on the basis of FIR filed by her father, who claimed that they were known to his daughter and that one of them was in a relationship with her.
The men were arrested after the victim’s family filed a complaint against them.
She confessed to killing the girl with a live weapon after raping her. The two also confessed that they dumped the girl’s body in the pond on Friday to hide some evidence and fled the area, the SP said.
They were brought before Hazaribagh’s top judicial magistrate, who sent them to jail.
