Bengaluru, Jan 15 (NationPress) A delegation from the Karnataka BJP made a visit on Wednesday to the home of a six-year-old girl who was reportedly raped and murdered in Bengaluru.

He expressed outrage over the incident and called for a thorough investigation into the matter.

The victim’s family, originally from Nepal, had a member working as a security guard in a building that is currently under construction. They resided on the ground floor of the same building, which housed two children.
The tragic event transpired around 7:30 p.m. on a Monday evening when the girl’s father was at work and her mother had gone to retrieve firewood from the fourth floor. At the time, the girl was playing on the first floor within the jurisdiction of the Rammurthynagar police station.
While she was alone, the perpetrator, a mason identified as Abhisheik Kumar, 25, from Bihar, attacked her while inebriated.
Following the assault, police confirmed that the mother, upon discovering the accused with her daughter, struck him with a wooden log and screamed for assistance. Nearby workers quickly arrived and rushed the girl to the hospital.
Tragically, reports indicate that the girl died during the assault due to suffocation.
Upon hearing about the incident, local residents and laborers gathered and assaulted the accused. The Rammurthynagar Police arrived at the scene and took him into custody.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) D. Devaraj reassured the agitated crowd that justice would be served.
The police have charged the accused under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
