A 15-year-old girl was gang-raped, murdered, and discarded in a 15-meter-50 ft. deep well in India's most recent horrific sexual assault.
The tenth-grade student was reported missing by her grandfather on September 23 after three individuals allegedly abducted her.
Indian Girl Gang-Raped, Dumped Dead Body in Deep Well
Less than twenty-four hours later, the girl's body was regrettably discovered at the bottom of a well in the Ramgarh Shekhawati region of Sikar city, Rajasthan.
Per Daily Mail, police in Sikar have apprehended two adults and a juvenile believed to be the primary suspect in the alleged gang rape and murder of a minor. A police official has verified that a 15-year-old and his two 19-year-old accomplices, Sameer and Ghulam, have been arrested.
Police are interrogating them while detectives collect vital evidence from the crime site. Video footage depicts the heartbreaking moment when officials discovered the tragic girl's body and lowered it to the ground using a rope.
The girl was reported missing for the first time on September 24 by her grandfather at the Ramgarh Sethan police station, where he claimed his granddaughter had been abducted the night before.
The police then conducted a thorough search for the missing girl, and on Sunday afternoon, her desiccated body was found in a well. The police then conveyed the corpse to the mortuary at the government hospital in Ramgarh Sethan.
In accordance with the family's desires, the funeral was held in Jasrasar village, Sardarseher. The girl was from the Churu district and had been studying while residing with her grandparents in Lavanda.
Due to suspicions of rape and murder, relevant sections of the law were added to the case, and further investigation was launched after the corpse of the deceased minor was identified,' a government official told the media.
The police verified that the CCTV footage had uncovered the identities of the perpetrators of the heinous crimes.
The CCTV footage installed along the route to the victim's residence has been reviewed, and the suspects can be seen approaching and departing the victim's home, a police official told local media.
On Sunday, family members organized a large demonstration to demand prompt action against the accused. They also demanded that the assailants be punished severely. The protesters argued that the family of the victim should also be compensated.
In India, a 14-year-old girl was gang-raped and then incinerated alive in an incinerator earlier this month. Officers have charged eleven men in connection with the horrifying sex assault and murder in Rajasthan, where the teen's charred remains were discovered inside a blazing kiln.
The appalling murder has infuriated and outraged the deceased's family and the entire nation. A few months ago, a throng was alleged to have exposed and sexually assaulted two women in Manipur.
Rising Sex Assaults in India
Meanwhile, a video depicting a young woman seeking assistance after being violated has sparked outrage in India. Many people expressed indignation after CCTV footage appeared to show a man waving away a female who approached him.
But police told local media that the girl, who walked around Ujjain city in Madhya Pradesh state for more than two hours, was assisted by some individuals. A senior police officer stated that a medical examination revealed that the girl had been violated. Police have not yet determined the girl's age.
This week, a brief CCTV video that surfaced online prompted condemnation from politicians and social media users. Monday, the image depicts the girl, who appears to be wounded, strolling on a road. At one point, she approaches a male who appears to gesture at her before he walks away.
Police say they are analyzing other CCTV footage from the area to determine the girl's path prior to receiving assistance. The girl was reported missing from Satna city, more than 700 kilometers (435 miles) from where she was located, according to Mr. Sharma.
She was assisted by Rahul Sharma, a Hindu cleric, according to media reports. Narottam Misra, the home minister of Madhya Pradesh, stated that the girl's condition was stable. State opposition leaders have condemned the incident and criticized the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over women's safety. State BJP chief VD Sharma stated that police would take "strict action" and perpetrators would be unable to flee.
The National Commission for the Preservation of Child Rights chairman, Priyank Kanoongo, told reporters that he had contacted Madhya Pradesh's local police and administrative officials to learn more about the incident. Yogita Bhayana, an activist who has worked with multiple rape survivors, told the BBC that she was attempting to locate the girl's family to offer support.
