A shocking rape in India is today’s top story.
According to authorities in India, Kamlesh Rajput, 21, has been arrested for the rape of a young girl. The young girl is understood to have been all of 8 years old.
But it gets much more terrifying. Police say that Rajput has also confessed to later dismembering her body after having hacked it into individual pieces. Police reportedly made the connection after discovering blood stains inside of Rajput’s home in Lopda village, near Udaipur city.
Udaipur police superintendent Vikas Sharma spoke to the Times of India: ‘When [the girl] did not return home on March 29, her family members lodged a missing complaint at the Mavli police station. Since she was a minor girl we lodged an FIR and started searching for her.
‘Our men in plain clothes made a visit near [Rajput’s] house and found blood spots. Hence, on the basis of suspicion he was detained.
‘Later, we recovered the chopped body parts of the girl at an isolated place near his house on Saturday evening. The accused was questioned and he confessed to have kidnapped, strangulated the girl to death and later chopped off her body parts in several pieces.’
