A 14-year-old girl was allegedly raped and murdered in Lucknow’s Indiranagar area on Wednesday. The accused, who is being questioned, is also underage.<\/p>\n
In his complaint, the girl’s father has alleged that the teen, who lives in the area, had raped and killed the girl, hitting her with a hammer. He then hanged the body inside the room, he has alleged. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The girl was alone at home around 1.30 pm on\u00a0 Wednesday when the crime allegedly took place, the police said. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Her mother was the first to return and met the teen outside. “He fled on seeing her,” reads a rough translation of the complaint, filed in Hindi. \u00a0<\/p>\n
On entering the house, the girl’s mother found the body, the police said, quoting the complaint.<\/p>\n
The body has been sent for postmortem examination, which will be videographed, the police said. A case has been filed.<\/p>\n
“We are questioning the accused, who is a juvenile. Everything will be done as per law,” SM Qasim Abidi, a senior officer of the Lucknow police, said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
