In a disturbing case that has shocked the Haryana community, a 35-year-old woman was allegedly gang-raped and her 5-year-old daughter murdered in Jind district. The family, who survive by rag-picking and live in a local slum, became victims of a brutal attack that has prompted immediate police action.
Abduction and Assault Details
The incident occurred on the night of April 21-22 when four assailants, including one adult and three minors, targeted the vulnerable family. According to police reports, the accused entered the woman's hut after her husband had left following a dispute with a local resident.
The perpetrators allegedly rendered the woman unconscious before abducting both her and her young daughter. They reportedly took their victims to a garbage dump where the horrific crimes were committed.
"The woman was asleep with her daughter, and the accused picked up her daughter, too," police officials stated, based on the victim's account.
The following morning, a local resident discovered the unconscious woman and brought her back to her hut. Tragically, the body of the 5-year-old girl was found on a cot near the jhuggi (shanty) with clear strangulation marks, indicating she had been murdered during the attack.
In a disturbing development, the child's body was initially buried without proper examination. However, authorities later exhumed the remains in the presence of a duty magistrate after the crime was reported to police.
"The body has been sent to the PGIMS at Khanpur Kalan in Sonepat district for post-mortem examination," police sources confirmed.
