Two men have been arrested for the rape and murder of a 15-year-old girl whose body was found in a well in Sikar in Rajasthan yesterday. The suspects were identified as Sameer and Gulam. A minor was also arrested in the case and all three are being questioned, police said.
The class 10 student from Churu had gone missing on Sunday. Police launched an investigation based on a missing complaint from her family and found her body in a well on Monday afternoon, Sikar Superintendent of Police Ali Paris Deshmukh said.
Former Fatehpur MLA Nand Kishore Maharia and other BJP leaders staged a sit-in demonstration demanding justice for the family.
The girl’s family had accused three men of kidnapping, gang rape, blackmail and murder. District officials assured them of a fair investigation and that the suspects were taken into custody for questioning. Thereafter, a rape and murder case was registered and the three men were arrested.
The protesters also demanded financial support for the family.
The BJP has attacked the Ashok Gehlot government over the incident. “These gruesome scenes of dead bodies of our daughters being pulled out from wells after being raped have now become common in the Congress Jungle Raj,” said BJP spokesperson Laxmikant Bhardwaj.
