When her mother called later in the day to check on her whereabouts, the victim stated that she was in Brahmapuri, approximately 50 kilometers from Umred, and would not return home that night. Shortly afterward, an unknown man called her mother and ominously declared that her daughter would not return. The next morning, the victim’s body was found.
A police officer confirmed that the postmortem report revealed the victim had been sexually assaulted before being strangled to death. A case has been registered under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, and investigations are underway to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.
This incident has drawn parallels with previous cases of heinous crimes in Maharashtra. In July, a 9-year-old girl in Thane district was abducted, raped, and murdered by a man named Abhay Yadav, who was arrested within hours of the crime. Similarly, Shanti Nagar police had recently arrested a man named Kanchan Das for murdering his wife and disposing of her body in a well.
The police are working tirelessly to gather evidence and ensure swift justice for the 26-year-old victim in this latest tragic case.
