Six-year-old girl raped in Hisar; wooden stick found in her private parts

A six-year-old girl was raped and killed in Haryana's Hisar. Police said, the victim was abducted from her residence by unidentified men and allegedly gangraped. Her body was recovered from a deserted street in Uklana with wooden stick inserted in her private part.

The victim's body was cremated on Sunday amid tight security, as the agitated locals protested over the gruesome crime.

Police said that some unidentified men had allegedly abducted the girl on Friday night when she was sleeping with her sister and mother in their home in a slum area.

The men then raped and killed her, the police said. The doctors of Civil Hospital who conducted the post-mortem examination said that the accused inserted a wooden stick into the girl's private parts, which ruptured her intestine.

"When the body was handed over to us it was soaked inblood," a kin of the girl told reporters here. Angered over the incident, the opposition parties, Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), Congress and the local residents demonstrated against the Manohar Lal Khattar led government, on the cremation ground.

"The Khattar government is sleeping while incidents ofrape and murder take place every other day," senior Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala said.

Former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda while demanding an immediate arrest of the accused, said such barbaric incidents showed that law and order machinery in the state under the BJP government had collapsed.

Things have come to such a pass that children were neither safe in their schools nor at homes, Hooda said. The barbaric incident was a chilling reminder of theDecember 16 gangrape case in Delhi in 2012 involving a youngwoman, he said.

Haryana BJP chief Subhash Barala and party's Hisar MLAKamal Gupta and other leaders were also present there.

A case under various Sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) including murder, rape, kidnapping, besides, under the provisions of the POCSO Act has been registered.

A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has also been formed to probe the incident. However, no arrest has been made in the case, said a police spokesman.

The police is checking CCTV footage of the area togather clues, he said. The incident came to light yesterday when passers by noticed the body of the girl on a deserted street, the police said.

The victim's family, who work as labourers, belong to the Sapera community hailing from Tohana town in Fatehabad district. They were living near railway lines in Uklana forthe last couple of years.
