A 16 year old Dalit girl was found murdered in her fields in Jadopur
area of Pilkhuwa town in Ghaziabad on Friday evening. Her parents have
lodged a police complaint and a case of murder and rape has been
registered. Police said the girl had gone to work in her fields on
Friday evening along with
her mother.

"She walked away to a nearby location after which she went missing.
Her parents later found her body at some distance and by the condition
in which her body was found, they lodged an FIR under sections of
murder and rape," superintendent of police (SP) Capt MM Baig said.

Officials said that the victim was first strangulated and later her
throat was slashed with a sharp-edged weapon, which led to her death.

The victim had studied up to class 10 and supported her family by
giving tuitions at home.

Pilkhuwa station officer SC Belwal told Hindustan Times that the
preliminary post-mortem report has not indicated rape but two slides
have been prepared and sent for pathological examination for rape
confirmation.

"There are different versions over the exact sequence of events
leading to her disappearance and murder. Her family members have not
indicated any rivalry or enmity with anyone," Belwal said.
