A 19-year-old labourer who had raped and murdered a 3-year-old in Gurugram on November 11 has reportedly admitted that he raped the victims twice before killing them. He also confessed that first he broke legs and hands of the victims so that they could not resist his act and also could not flee the spot and later killed them.
He also revealed that he had visited 100 temples, bhandaaras in the city to look for the targets. The accused also used to take bath soon after the crime. “The culprit is making many claims and we are in the process of verifying these. His mental status is fine. The probe team took him to Gwalior and Jhansi on Friday to identify crime spots,” Subhash Boken spokesperson Gurugram
Police said. Furthermore, a team of the Gwalior Police reached the city late on Friday to question the accused. The accused had raped and killed a minor girl in Gwalior.
He told the interrogators he knew each and every place in Gurugram where the bhandaaras were organised. “His soft target were young poor girls who came to eat at bhandaaras or collect prasad at a temple and were unaccompanied by adults,” a police official said.
An official attached with the probe team said, “When we reached accused Sunil’s native place in Jhansi his neighbour was also shocked to hear about his barbaric killing. They told us he was a very silent person and used to speak less. He used to talk only to his father and his brother. He didn’t talk to anyone in the locality”.
