The accused were identified as Suman Mallick, Sananda Mallick, Biswanath Mallick, Rajendra Mallick, Tukuna Mallick, Lambodar Mallick, Anil Mallick, Bati Behera and Sukru Mallick. 

The victim, a 14-year-old student of Class 9 of Dutipada’s Lembubagicha High School, had gone to her friend’s house at Dakangi, 15 days days back but didn’t return home. Two days later, her body was found hanging in a tree near an ITI institute.

After a video of the girl being misbehaved and beaten up surfaced on social media, her family members filed a case of rape and murder with the Sadar police station. After their arrest on Sunday, police produced them before a court and their bail pleas were rejected.
