In a shocking incident, a Dalit minor girl was reportedly gangraped and brutally murdered in Bihar's Muzaffarpur. The assailants cut off the victim's breasts and attacked her private parts with a knife. Her half-naked mutilated body was discovered in a pond on Monday, with a cloth tied around her mouth.
The victim's parents have filed an FIR against five individuals, including Sanjay Rai, a 41-year-old from the same village.
According to the police, the 14-year-old girl, whose parents are daily wagers, was found by a pond in the village Tuesday morning. In the police complaint, the victim's parents said that Sanjay Rai had previously threatened to kill the girl if she did not agree to marry him. On Sunday night , Rai and his accomplices entered their home, abused the father and brother, and abducted the girl. The next day, her mutilated body was found.
The incident has kicked up a political storm in the state, with opposition parties like the RJD and the BSP demanding immediate action in this brutal crime.
