As sister finds out about affair, teen plots her rape-murder | Meerut News

LAKHIMPUR KHERI: A 12-year-old girl was gang-raped and brutally murdered by six men in UP’s Lakhimpur Kheri, allegedly on the instructions of her 19-year-old sister who was having an affair with one of the youths. The incident sent shockwaves among the locals as the men violated the child using sugarcane stalks and gouged her eyes out, before strangling her with a dupatta.
The minor’s mutilated body was found in a cane field on Tuesday. Police said that the girl had found out about her elder sister’s affair and had threatened to tell their parents about it. Cops added that a shocking part in the horrific assault was that the woman herself took her sibling to the site where her six friends were waiting to commit the crime. Four of them took turns raping her while two ensured that no one entered the field. The woman allegedly held the victim’s hands to restrain her the entire time.
“The act revealed the amount of hatred in the accused’s mind for her younger sister. After her sister was murdered, she returned home and started acting as if everything was normal. When her parents started searching for their missing daughter, she told her mother that she had gone to a particular cane field to relieve herself,” SP Sanjeev Suman told TOI.
“All the accused are adults and have therefore been sent to jail,” said the SP.
