UP shocker: Married woman, teen lover murder 6-year-old who saw them in 'compromising position'

NEW DELHI: A woman has been arrested and a teenage boy detained in connection with the murder of a six-year-old girl in a village under the Sikandra Rau Police Station area, Uttar Pradesh. The girl, identified as Urvi, went missing at around 10am on Wednesday morning during a family function at her home. Her body was recovered at approximately 1.30pm from an abandoned well, stuffed in a jute bag with a cloth tied around her neck. The post-mortem confirmed she died from strangulation. Additional superintendent of police Ashok Kumar Singh said "the girl had walked in on the woman, aged around 30, and the 17-year-old boy in a compromising position."“The girl threatened to tell her father, and as she was leaving, the two strangled her to death,” he said. The woman reportedly confessed to being in a relationship with the teenager for three months. On the day of the incident, with her husband and mother-in-law away, she had invited the boy to her home. “The girl walked in on them and, despite being warned, said she would tell her father. The two then killed her, stuffed her body in a sack, and threw it in an abandoned well,” the officer added. Police noted that the woman had bite marks on her hand at the time of her arrest, likely inflicted by the girl in a struggle to escape.
