In the case so far, the 65-year-old man accused in the brutal Nasrapur rape and murder case has been remanded to police custody till May 7. He was arrested by the Pune Rural Police after a CCTV footage from a private residence captured him with the victim. Angered by the incident, local villagers took out a protest march, demanding strict action against the accused.
According to information received, the four-year-old victim had come to stay at her grandmother’s house for the holidays. On the day of the incident, the accused allegedly lured the girl to a cowshed on the pretext of showing her a calf.
He is suspected of having sexually assaulted her and killed her by crushing her with a stone in an attempt to conceal his identity. Later, in an attempt to hide the crime, the accused reportedly buried the child’s body under a heap of cow dung inside the shed.
On the Pune minor rape and murder case, CM Devendra Fadnavis says, “The incident that occurred in Pune’s Bhor is highly condemnable. A 65-year-old individual not only committed a heinous crime against a three-and-a-half-year-old innocent girl but also took the life of that small child. The accused has been apprehended. A fast-track court will oversee the case against him, and we will demand the death penalty for such an offender”
