Accusing the uncle of trying to mislead investigators, senior police officer Amit Sanghi told that the postmortem and medical report revealed that the girl was a victim of rape. More questioning revealed the role of the girl's relatives in this horrific crime.

The girl was misleaded by one of her cousin brothers to their uncle's place when she was returning home after exams. The uncle and her two brothers gang raped her in a savagely violent way and when she asserted to go to the police, her aunt allegedly strangled her. She was beheaded and dumped into the fields, the police officer said.
