Body of six-year-old rape victim cremated

Hisar, Dec 9 (PTI) A six-year-old girl, who was raped and killed in Haryana’s Uklana area, was cremated today amid tight security, as the agitated locals protested over the gruesome crime.

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 in blood,” 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.
