    13-year-old girl gang-raped and killed in UP’s Lakhimpur Kheri, police to invoke NSA
    LUCKNOW: In another shocking case of rape within a span of 10 days, a 13-year old was raped and murdered in Lakhimpur Kheri district of Uttar Pradesh with the victim’s father alleging that his daughter was brutally mutilated by the accused.

    The two accused have been arrested under the provisions of the National Security Act. The father of the deceased said his daughter had stepped out to use the public toilet when she was abducted. She was found dead in a sugarcane field and alleged that the accused had inflicted brutal injuries on the girl’s eyes and that her tongue had been cut before she was strangulated to death.

    However, SP of Lakhimpur Kheri district, Satendra Kumar, while confirming the rape, has denied allegations of disfigurement by the father. Kumar said the post-mortem report has not confirmed the allegations levelled by the father. He said that the injury to the eyes was due to bruises she sustained by the sharp sugarcane leaves, while her tongue got affected because of strangulation.

    The two accused –– Madanlal and Ram Jivan –– have also been booked under charges pertaining to the SC/ST Act, along with NSA and charges of rape and murder.
