Two minor Dalit girls were allegedly raped and killed in separate incidents in Haryana, barely a month after a similar case involving a six-year-old girl had shook the state.
Police said that one of the girls, a 15-year-old Class X student, had been brutally assaulted and her private parts mutilated.
The body of the other victim, an 11-year-old girl, was found in a village in Panipat district on Sunday morning, a police official said. The official said she was abducted by two men on Saturday evening when she had gone out of her house to throw garbage in the village dumpyard.
Rahul Sharma, superintendent of police, Panipat, told PTI over the phone that two men who lived in her neighbourhood were arrested on Sunday for the crime.
After abducting her, the accused took her to a house, where they allegedly raped and strangled her. They also burnt her clothes in a bid to destroy evidence, the SP said.
