The minor girl was gang raped by four people on 21st January when she was all by herself at home.

The victim is a resident of Nepal’s Barbardiya and was putting up with her father who worked as a night guard at the local market.

The victim’s father was allegedly intimidated by the accused if he told the police about the incident.

An audio recording has also gone viral where the SHO of Kundwa Chainpur police station Sanjiv Ranjan can be allegedly heard telling the accused to cremate the victim's dead body in order to destroy evidence.

The SHO told a local leader Ramesh Sah to do away with the minor girl's dead body before the victim's family approach the police.

On 3rd February, the deceased victim's father approached the Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) in Motihari to register a compliant.

In the meantime, the SP of East Champaran Navin Chandra Jha has stated that four people have been charged with rape and murder. While seven others have been booked for the destruction of evidence. Two of seven have been taken into custody.

The SHO has also been suspended for the delay in filing an FIR and not sending the dead body for autopsy regardless of having knowledge of the crime.
