NEW DELHI: A 10-year-old girl was allegedly raped and then bludgeoned to death by her neighbour who dumped her blood-soaked body in a garbage bin in Pul Prahladpur area of southeast Delhi on Saturday night.
The victim's body was discovered when her brother and other residents of the area followed a trail of blood from her house to the garbage dump. Police have arrested the neighbour, Gopal, who is understood to have confessed to the horrific crime.
Gopal, a construction worker, told the cops he had raped the girl when she was alone in her house and knocked her out with a rolling pin when she threatened to inform her brother. He then dragged her to the garbage bin, killed her with a stone and hid the body in the refuse, additional commissioner of police (south-east) Ajay Chaudhry said.
The cops are waiting for the autopsy report to confirm if the girl was sexually assaulted. The victim, who belongs to Katihar district in Bihar, had come to Delhi for treatment around 45 days ago and was staying with her brother in the slums of the Railway colony.
Accused had rape case against him in Bihar
A senior cop said that Gopal, a father of three, and girl's family were from the same village in Bihar. The girl's brother, too, was a construction worker. Both Gopal and the victim's brother lived alone in the capital before the girl came to stay with the latter, Chaudhry said.
On Saturday morning, the duo had left for work around 7am. The accused came back at 5pm while the girl's brother returned around 7pm and found his sister missing. "When I entered the room, I saw blood everywhere. I got scared and began to look for my sister. There were blood stains on the ground which led outside. I came out and raised an alarm," the victim's brother said in his complaint.
Trailing the blood spots, the brother found a piece of cloth lying near the garbage area. He and other residents began to look through the garbage and found the girl lying in a pool of blood. She was rushed to a hospital by police but was declared "brought dead".
The cops have registered a case of murder. Initial questioning of the area residents revealed that Gopal, who was seen in the evening, had gone missing. It also came to light that Gopal had been charged with rape and molestation in Bihar. Chaudhry said after the accused became the prime suspect, a team led by Ambedkar Nagar ACP Dharmveer Joshi was formed. Cops were deployed at railway stations and bus stands while other teams began to look for Gopal at his friends' and neighbours' places.
Gopal was arrested from the Tughlakabad railway station in the early hours of Sunday while trying to board a train to Bihar, a police officer said.
He told the cops that he had tried to rape the girl earlier but did not succeed. On Saturday evening, he had alcohol with his friend and went to the girl's house on the pretext of watching TV. He allegedly molested her while watching TV and when she resisted, he raped her. The girl began to cry and threatened to reveal the matter to her brother after which Gopal picked up a rolling pin and hit her on her head.
The accused also said that he smashed her head against the wall after which he dragged her to the garbage dump and hid the body. He collected his luggage and wanted to flee to Bihar.
