In Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, a 13-year-old boy is accused by the police of raping and killing his nine-year-old sister in a horrifying occurrence. It is reported that the horrifying tragedy happened on April 24. After watching a pornographic film, the accused sibling allegedly sexually attacked her, according to reports.
Following extensive interrogation of the accused and 50 interviews with police, the accused brother, their mother, and their sisters, who are 17 and 18, have been placed under arrest by the police as they investigate the case, according to a statement made by officials on Saturday.
“A nine-year-old girl was raped and strangulated to death under Jawa police station limits on April 24, following which the police had registered a case and started a probe,” stated Superintendent of Police Vivek Singh, according to a media source.
“The body of the victim was recovered from the courtyard of her house where she was sleeping at the time of the incident,” he said.
Additionally, it was discovered that the boy charged had spent the night next to her.
Later, when the victim threatened to tell their father about the event, the boy strangled her. After the accused told his mother, she discovered the victim was still alive. Singh claimed that the accused choked her once more after realizing it.
His two older sisters also awoke in the interim, and they all moved their beds before telling the police to obstruct the investigation. But after being questioned over and over, they eventually acknowledged their wrongdoing, he claimed.

The youngster, his two sisters, and their mother were placed under arrest; subsequent legal actions are being pursued, the official stated.
“The police received information on April 24 morning that the body of the girl was lying in the courtyard of the house. Evidence relating to rape and murder was found in the post-mortem report, and an SIT team was constituted for the probe,” Singh said.
He claimed that the family members had told the police that the girl had died from a poisoned insect bite in an attempt to deceive the investigators.
According to the investigation, no one was seen entering the residence, and family members denied hearing any noise at all during the night, he added.
“After collecting technical evidence and interrogating 50 people, police found repeated changes in the statements of the family members. On the basis of suspicion, they were intensely interrogated, following which they admitted the crime,” the SP said.
