A three-year-old girl was allegedly raped and killed by a 21-year-old youth at the Odela railway station on Tuesday, in another incident raising questions on the security of women in the society of almost 1 billion people.
According to Indian media reports, the culprit, Rajesh, who was travelling in the Intercity express from Adilabad to Secunderabad, got down from the train at the Odela station and accosted the girl moving about on the platform. He took her into the nearby cotton fields and raped her. He then tried to dump the body of the girl at a nearby agricultural well.
The villagers who noticed the suspicious movements of Rajesh beat him up severely when they saw the body of the girl. He was then handed over to the police. The body of the girl was sent to the area hospital at Odela for autopsy.
The accused was later arrested and shifted to a local police station.
