Lucknow: A teenager girl was raped and killed in Lakshmipur, Kheri dist in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday, said police. According to the police sources, the teenager, 13 years old body found in a sugar cane field. The police arrested two men from the girl’s village.

The girl had been strangled, her eyes were gouged and her tongue cut, said the girl’s father. The incident took place on Friday, around 130 km from Lucknow, in a village close to the Nepal border. Her body was found in the fields of one of the accused. According to the police, the post-mortem report that came out on Sunday night does not show her eyes were gouged out or tongue cut. The police said the autopsy mentioned rape and strangulation.

As per the police superintendent of Kheri dist Satendra Kumar, “Her eyes were not gouged and tongue was not cut. The claim is not true. There is nothing in the post-mortem report to suggest this. There were scratches near the eyes, likely due to the sharp sugarcane leaves where the body was found.” “The girl’s post mortem has confirmed rape. The two accused had been arrested already. We will file charges for rape, murder and also under the National Security Act,” said the SP.

According to the girl father’s statement, she had gone missing on Friday afternoon. “We went looking for her everywhere. Found her in the sugarcane field. Her eyes had been gouged out. Her tongue was cut and strangled with a dupatta.” Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati condemned the incident on Twitter calling it “extremely shameful”. “What is the difference between the governments of the Samajwadi Party and the present BJP if such incidents keep happening?” she said, attacking the Yogi Adityanath administration.
