Bhilwara: A shocking incident unfolded in Narsinghpura village, Bhilwara (Rajasthan), when the remains of a minor girl's body and her bangles were found in a coal furnace.

The locals made the grim discovery, leading to an immediate investigation by the authorities.


Allegations of Assault and Murder
There are suspicions among the community that the girl may have been sexually assaulted and killed before her body was burned in the furnace.

The girl had reportedly gone to graze her family's cattle when she didn't return home in the evening, prompting her family to search for her in the area. Upon finding the tragic evidence, they complained with the police.

Detention of Four Individuals
The police acted swiftly and detained four people who work in the vicinity for questioning. Only the forensic and medical examination will be able to confirm or refute the allegations surrounding the crime.

“At first glance, it appears that a minor girl was killed and burned to death. The police have rounded up 4 people. Only the FSL team and doctors can confirm whether or not there was a gang rape in this incident,” SP Bhilwara Adarsh Siddhu said. 

"We are further looking into the incident," he added.
