Farrukhabad (Uttar Pradesh), April 2, 2026
A 14-year-old minor girl was allegedly killed in Uttar Pradesh’s Farrukhabad and her body stuffed in a sack before being dumped near the Kali river, police said on Thursday.
The incident took place in the Mohammadabad Kotwali area, triggering panic and outrage among locals after the decomposed body of the girl was recovered.
According to the police, the body was found near the Kali river along the Chhibramau road, close to the cremation ground of Kumhauli village, around 20 metres from the riverbank.
The recovery was made based on the identification and disclosure by the accused during questioning.
The case was registered on March 30 after the victim’s father, Ajay Kumar Pal, a resident of Sirauli village under Nawabganj police station limits, lodged a complaint against three accused — Kuldeep, Rohit, and a minor — all hailing from the same village.
In his complaint, Pal alleged that on the intervening night of March 28 and 29, the accused mixed an intoxicating substance in milk, rendering family members unconscious. They then allegedly abducted his daughter and fled with jewellery, including gold ornaments and silver anklets, along with cash worth around Rs 50,000.
During the course of investigation, police questioned the suspects, leading to a major breakthrough.
Based on the confession by the accused, the girl’s body was recovered from the spot where it had been hidden inside a sack.
Senior police officials, including Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Arun Kumar Singh, Kayamganj Circle Officer Rajesh Dwivedi, Nawabganj Station House Officer Rajeev Kumar, and Mohammadabad Kotwali In-charge Vinod Kumar Shukla, rushed to the site with heavy police force and conducted a detailed inspection.
A forensic team was also called to collect crucial evidence from the site.
The girl’s body has been sent for post-mortem examination, and further action will be taken based on the report.
The victim’s family members were inconsolable at the site. The deceased was the eldest among four siblings.
The girl’s family also alleged that the police initially did not act promptly on their complaint, though officials later intensified the investigation.
Providing details, ASP Arun Kumar Singh said that initially the case appeared to be of elopement.
“On March 30, information was received that a minor girl had gone with a boy from the village along with his associates. During investigation, it came to light that the girl had allegedly administered sleeping pills to her family members and left home with jewellery and documents,” he added.
“During police questioning, the accused juvenile revealed that the girl was pressuring him for marriage and refused to return home. Disturbed by the situation, he, along with an aide, killed her. The girl’s body was first hidden in a field and later disposed of near the Kali river in a sack,” the ASP said.
Police said that all necessary legal procedures have been completed and strict action is being taken against those involved.(Agency)
