Minor’s Body Found With Abdomen Cut Open in UP

Pilibhit (Uttar Pradesh): A nine-year-old girl was brutalized and left in a wheat field to die with severe injuries at Madhopur village under the Amaria police station in Pilibhit.

Reportedly, the minor girl was found dead with her abdomen cut open and visceral organs scattered all around.

The victim was identified as Anam of Madhopur village.

According to the victim’s father, Anis Ahmad, Anam had gone with her uncle, Shadab Ahmad, to attend a religious function in a nearby village, Sarainda Patti. She mysteriously went missing after that. The family searched her and found her in critical condition in the wheat field.

“I immediately called for an ambulance as she was still breathing. On the way to the hospital, she tried to disclose the name of her attacker but before she could do so, she succumbed to her injuries,” Anis Ahmad said.

Superintendent of Police Dinesh Kumar Prabhu rushed to the spot and started investigation.

Police registered an FIR against a local villager, named Shaqil Vaistava and took him into custody. According to sources, Anis Ahmad had an old enmity with Shaqil.
