Gruesome: 5 year old raped, murdered, stuffed inside container in Faridabad
A five-year-old girl was kidnapped, brutally raped and stabbed to death allegedly by a man who used to work at her father's tent house in Asaoti village in Haryana's Palwal district.
The accused, identified as Virender alias Bholu, allegedly committed the heinous act on Thursday night over some old enmity with the girl's father.
"Virender was arrested and remanded in three-day police custody today. He is being interrogated," SP, Palwal, Waseem Akram said. Virender used to work at the tent house owned by the girl's father. They had a heated argument over some issue earlier.
