TNN | Feb 7, 2019, 01:11 ISTKanpur: An 18-year-old girl, who had gone to work in fields on Tuesday along with her family members, went missing, and later her body was found lying in a field in a village under Panki police station on Wednesday morning.
Police rushed to the spot and sent the body to mortuary for the postmortem examination. After preliminary investigation, the police registered a case of murder against unidentified persons. “We are investigating the case from all angles, but it is not confirmed whether the girl was sexually assaulted or not”, said a police officer.
According to police, the victim, a B.Com first year student at a local degree college, went missing on Tuesday evening, and the next her body was recovered in the mustard field on Wednesday.
The girl’s brother stated in his complaint that after his father’s death, he along with his four siblings, including her teenage sister and mother, have been living in the village. The victim was their only sister and was the youngest among the siblings.
“She accompanied us on Tuesday afternoon to our nearby farms. At around 4.30 pm, she went to the house for lunch. But when we reached home, we did not find her there. After inquiring from neighbours about her whereabouts, we launched a massive search operation, but to no avail. On Wednesday, I was informed that a girl’s body was lying in a field, and when I went to the spot, I identified her as my sister, the girl’s brother told TOI.
Ram Kishan, owner of the field where the girl’s body was found lying, said that the body might have been dumped in the field in the night. Some locals, who were on their way to attend the nature’s call near the farm, spotted the body and informed him. He then alerted the girl’s family members.
Police said that are working on every possible angle to crack the case at the earliest. “She was strangled to death by using her ‘dupatta’. Her slippers, a small steel bucket and her shawl were recovered from near her body.
Whether the girl was sexually assaulted or not, will be known only after the postmortem report is received. The girl’s brother suspect the hand of a villager with whom he had a fight last year. We will question him,” said SP (West) Sanjeev Suman.
