In a harrowing incident in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, a six-year-old girl was killed by her mother and a teenage boy after the child witnessed them in a compromising situation, police reported. The girl’s body was discovered inside a well, concealed in a jute sack with a cloth tied around her neck.
Authorities revealed that the woman, approximately 30 years old, admitted to a three-month romantic relationship with the 17-year-old boy. On the day of the crime, with her husband and mother-in-law absent, she invited the boy to her home. The young girl inadvertently walked in on them and threatened to inform her father. Fearing exposure, the pair decided to silence her permanently.
“The child saw the woman and the minor together and said she would tell her father. As she tried to leave, they strangled her,” said Additional Superintendent of Police Ashok Kumar Singh, as reported by NDTV. The perpetrators then stuffed the girl’s body into a sack and discarded it in an abandoned well to conceal their crime. Police noted that the woman had bite marks on her hand, likely from the girl’s struggle to escape.
Following an investigation, the woman and the teenage boy were arrested. The case has shocked the local community, highlighting the tragic consequences of desperate attempts to conceal personal indiscretions. The police continue to probe the circumstances surrounding the murder, ensuring justice for the young victim.
This disturbing event underscores the devastating impact of impulsive decisions driven by fear and secrecy. The Hathras police are working to ensure all details are thoroughly examined, as the community mourns the loss of a young life.
