An eight-year-old girl was gang-raped repeatedly inside a village temple, kept sedated for hours, and raped again just before being killed in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua by six men, including one who had been “invited” to come all the way from Meerut to “satisfy his lust”, the police have told a court.
The child, held captive for a week in January, was strangled and then hit with a large stone by the rapists “just to be sure that she was dead”, a police charge-sheet reveals in horrifying detail.
The kidnapping, rape and killing of the girl of the Bakherwal community at the Rassana area of Kathua was part of a planned, chilling strategy to instill fear and drive the nomadic tribe out of the region, reveals the 15-page charge-sheet filed by the Jammu and Kashmir Police in the chief judicial magistrate’s court on Monday.
