New Delhi : A 17-year-old girl was found dead earlier this week in Delhi after being allegedly gang-raped, stabbed, and thrown in an open field. The incident took place in Northwest Delhi’s Swaroop Nagar, with the body decomposed to such an extent that forensic teams struggled to immediately ascertain her gender. The case came to light on the morning of September 13, when police received information about a body lying in farm fields near Kushak Road in Swaroop Nagar.
The girl and the accused knew each other, news agency PTI reported. The accused allegedly drank together inside a tempo before the girl was raped and murdered. Police said that some parts of the girl’s body had been eaten by stray dogs, with one of her hands found lying separated on the field. The victim was not reported missing by her family, who told police that she would often leave home and return after a few days.
The vehicle’s registration number could not initially be identified because of darkness and poor visibility. The vehicle was subsequently traced and found parked in Khadda Colony. The tempo driver was detained and questioned at length. His interrogation subsequently led police to the other three suspects, resulting in the arrest of all four accused.
Police have also recovered two knives allegedly used in the murder, along with blood-stained clothes that the accused were wearing at the time of the crime. Police detained and questioned the tempo driver, following which three juveniles and Shivam alias Sudama were taken into custody. Investigators are also probing whether anyone else was involved.
