Khargone: A seven-year-old girl was gang-raped and murdered by a relative and his friend in Oon police station area of Khargone district, police said.
Khargone SP Ravindra Verma said the incident occurred Tuesday night when the victim's father sent the Class 1 girl to buy ice candy from a shop 100 metres away. "The accused were sitting in a vacant shop opposite, watching pornographic films on mobile phone which triggered their premeditated plan," he said.
As the girl returned, the inebriated duo abducted her, took her to a barn 25 metres away in a stackyard, raped and strangled her to death. To conceal the body, they threw it in a straw pile covered with a plastic tub, the SP said.
