5-yr-old raped, smothered in UP village during Chhath celebrations, no arrest yet

The five-year-old daughter of a labourer had gone missing on Monday evening while the family was taking part in the Chhath rituals.

“The children were playing nearby when the daughter of my brother went missing. She was not traced until midnight as we extensively searched the village. Only after we spotted her undergarments outside a hutment around 50 metres from the house where chaff is stored, we informed the police,” the uncle of the girl told The Indian Express.

According to police, the body was found inside a pile of chaff and had injury marks.

“The autopsy report has confirmed sexual assault on the victim with injuries in her private parts and smothering as the cause of the death. We have got vital clues leading to the prime suspect who will be arrested soon,” DIG (Varanasi Range) Vaibhav Krishna told The Indian Express.

Sources said that there are two suspects in the case.
