Vvillagers gathered around Maholi police station seeking action against alleged perpetrator, a neighbour, after which police arrested the accused and sent him to jail on Tuesday.

Raju Kumar (25), the victim's neighbour, arrested from his residence under Maholi police station confessed to his crime during interrogation. "Kumar used to hang out at a shop near the girl's house. On Monday, he lured her with toffees and chocolates and took her to secluded area. He forced himself on the girl and strangled her when she screamed for help.
