A seven-year-old girl was found raped and murdered in Chhattisgarh’s Baloda Bazar-Bhatapara district, police said on Thursday.
The body was recovered from a well in Paunsari village in the Balodabazar Kotwali police station limits, said Additional Superintendent of Police Nivedita Paul.
Preliminary investigation suggested that the girl was raped and killed before being dumped into the well.
Two days ago, the victim’s parents lodged a complaint after she went missing, the officer said. A few suspects have been detained, she added.
