In the most barbaric incident of recent times, a three-year-old girl was strangled to death with her eyes gouged out and hands broken in Aligarh of Uttar Pradesh over a dispute of just Rs 5,000.
The incident came to light on June 2 when stray dogs started to drag out the mutilated body of the child from a garbage dump in Tappal town of Aligarh. The parents of the minor girl filed a missing person's complaint on May 31.
According to police, the girl was brutally murdered by two of her neighbours, Zahid and Aslam. Aligarh senior superintendent of police (SSP) Akash Kulhari said Zahid had borrowed some money from the girl's father but failed to return the entire loan.
"When the girl's father asked for the money, Zahid threatened him with dire consequences. And finally, with the help of his friend Aslam, Zahid killed the girl," Kulhari said.
The two accused have been arrested. When the police interrogated Zahid, he confessed to his crime. Aslam has other cases of rape, molestation and kidnapping against him. The body was found in a horrible state with the minor's eyes gouged out, broken hands - not far from the child's home.
The post mortem revealed that there were many causes of death like suffocation, beaten marks on the left chest, fracture in the left leg, ribs were broken, injury in the head, the right arm was cut from the shoulder, soft tissue was damaged of both eyes and worms all over the body.
The body was in a decomposed condition. These injury marks prove that the child faced the brutality. Although the family has alleged rape, the SSP said that rape has not been proved yet. The police have formed a special investigation team of six members.
The SIT will submit its report within three weeks. Forensic and special operation group team will also be a part of the investigation team. The authorities suspended five policemen for negligence and began proceedings to invoke the stringent NSA against the two accused.
