On Thursday, three people were arrested in Assam’s Karimganj district for allegedly killing a teenage girl and engaging in sexual acts with her corpse. The minor’s body was discovered by the side of the Karimganj town bypass on September 9th, the same day she was murdered.
A post-mortem examination revealed necrophilia and a case was registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The investigation uncovered a phone number in the girl’s diary that led to the three accused, who were apprehended from their homes in Karimganj town.
It was discovered that the girl’s new railway employee lover had been pressuring her to have a physical relationship with him, but she had rejected his advances. On September 9th, when he found her alone at her home, he and two of his friends attempted to rape her.
When she resisted, they strangled her and took turns to engage in sexual acts with the corpse. The accused then disposed of the body beside the bypass, from where it was later recovered and identified by her parents.
