KANPUR: A 19-year-old girl was raped and murdered in Gandhigram on Saturday. She was alone in the house at the time of the incident.
The murder came to light late on Saturday night when her sister called the girl on her mobile phone from Lucknow. When she got no response, the harried sister contacted the neighbours, who found the teenager lying dead. A case under Section 376 and 302 of IPC was registered.
Anjali alias Nancy, daughter of Surendra Singh, a resident of Hata Deoria, was raped and smothered to death by unidentified miscreants at her grandparents house in Gandhigram in Chakeri.
Nancy's grandfather Veerbali, a retired HAL employee and his wife Damyanti had gone to his native place in Hata Deoria about a week back. The girl was staying alone since then.
Nancy's younger sister Sainky, who stays in Lucknow with her relatives, had tried to call her on her phone. On getting no response, Sainky asked the neighbours to go to her sister's house and apprise her about the situation.
The neighbours saw Nancy lying in a semi-nude condition in a pool of blood in her room in the double-storied house.
Nancy's parents had sent her to Kanpur to stay with her grandparents for further studies.
"The assailants were probably known to Nancy, who might have smothered the girl to death after sexually assaulting her," a police official said.
Senior police officials visited the site. During an inquiry at the locality, residents of the area informed that at around 11 am, they had spotted Nancy on her way back home from a nearby shop with a couple of packets of noodles which were served in two bowls in the room from where the body was recovered.
The police said that several suspected persons have been detained for interrogation. The call details of the suspected persons and Nancy are being collected.
