A tragic incident unfolded in Mathura, where a five-year-old girl was strangled, and her dismembered remains were discovered in fields near a police station, as reported by PTI. The child went missing on the evening of February 25. The following day, a severed leg was found in a field, initially attributed to a wild animal attack by Sitapur Additional Superintendent of Police, Praveen Ranjan.
Following persistent demands from the girl’s family for a thorough investigation, police launched a probe. On February 27, with drone surveillance, authorities recovered another severed leg and the upper torso, from chest to head. The post-mortem confirmed that the girl had been strangled to death.
A police official told PTI, “We are interrogating multiple suspects, and three have been arrested. Surveillance teams are aiding the investigation.” BJP MLA Gyan Tiwari and Priyanka Maurya, a member of the State Women Commission, met the grieving family, promising swift and stern action against those responsible for the heinous crime.
