LUCKNOW: An eight-year-old girl was allegedly raped and murdered in Dewa policecircle of Barabanki, located barely 20 kilometres from the state capital. In another incident reported from Jhansi, a 13-year-old girl committed suicide after she was held captive and repeatedly raped by a local youth. Both the incidents came to light on Tuesday.
Reports from Barabanki said the incident came to light on Tuesday morning after the body of a minor girl - aged around 8 years was recovered from a field in Mamapur village under Dewa police circle. The girl was later identified as Munni of the same village. Prima facie, the condition of the body suggested that the minor had been sexually assaulted and then strangulated.
After the victim's parents told the police that the girl had gone missing since early evening on Monday and was last seen with a local youth Bhanu Yadav who too was found missing till late on Monday night, police raided Bhanu's house and nabbed him. Though the accused tried to wriggle out of the dragnet on the pretext that he had nothing to do with the girl and had not met her for more than 2 days, he gave in after he was confronted by some local residents who had met Bhanu, while the victim was with him.
In Jhansi, the suicide by a 13-year-old girl, that took place on Sunday, turned out to be a result of rape. After sexual assault was established in the post-mortem examination on Monday, the victim's family members admitted that the girl had told them about what all had happened to her before she consumed poison on Sunday.
A resident of Dubki village in Babina area, this student of class VII was attending stitching classes at a nearby village as it was her summer vacation time. The only child of her parents, her father was employed in Delhi and the girl lived with her mother in Dubki. The victim left her house on Saturday morning at the usual time to attend her stitching classes, but went missing thereafter. When she failed to turn up by late evening, her mother went out looking for her only to learn that she had left her stitching classes at the usual time in afternoon.
The girl however reached home on Sunday morning in a visibly shaken state and told her mother that she was on her way home when a local youth Gaya Prasad alias Raja Ahirwar kidnapped her. He held her captive in a house situated in a deserted corner of the village and repeatedly raped her all through the night. The girl somehow managed to escape from the confinement after the accused went to sleep early in the morning.
Even before the victim's mother could decide what to do next, the girl reportedly went inside a small store room in the house and consumed poison. She died by the time any medical help could be provided to her. Police have arrested the accused. The police have also charged the accused of compelling the victim to commit suicide apart from rape and assault.

Every such act is a slap on Indian Judicial system. God be India's saviour.
