Girl found dead near Uttar Pradesh CM's house raped by 21 men: cops

Lucknow: In a shocking revelation made by the DNA profiling of the class 12 student who was found raped and killed near the chief minister’s residence on February 16, it has been said that the victim was raped by 21 men, before and after she died.

The DNA report says that the girl died during rape but the accused continue to defile her body.

“The DNA profile of 21 different persons has been found on the body of the victim which means she was raped by 21 different men. The girl was raped even after her death as some DNA tests reveal”, said a senior police official.

The police officials are now wary of making the report public because it would lead to outrage and damage the image of the state government.

The girl’s body was found in thickets near the chief minister’s residence on February 16, five days after the girl went missing while going to school on February 10.

The police later arrested two rickshaw pullers and two caddies of the Golf Club who admitted that they had seen the girl’s body hanging from a tree. They said that they had brought down the body and had sex with the dead girl for two days after which the body began to decompose.

All four were arrested and sent to jail while the girl’s mobile was recovered from the village of one of the rickshaw pullers. The girl’s bicycle and school bag have not be recovered till date.

The post mortem report of the girl revealed that she had died due to excessive bleeding even though there was no trace of blood at the spot from where her body was found.

The Lucknow police are now starting fresh investigations into the case.

“We will keep the DNA report under wraps until we make some headway into the investigations”, said a member of the investigating team.
