He Was In Illicit Affair With ‘Chachi' Who Had 4-Yr-Old Girl. Yrs Later He Raped That Same ‘Baby' Cousin
Last Updated: Police say a 33-year-old man was arrested for killing his aunt's daughter on the same day she tied him a Rakhi. Raksha Bandhan is a festival that honours the bond between brothers and sisters, but an incident from Auraiya district in Uttar Pradesh has shocked many. Police say a 33-year-old man was arrested for killing his aunt's daughter on the same day she tied him a Rakhi. As per the investigation, after the celebration, the man, reportedly under the influence of alcohol, assaulted his nephew while she was asleep and later strangled her. Amar Ujala reports also revealed that the accused had also been involved with the victim's mother ten years earlier. Over the years, their strained relationship had created disputes between the two families. The family tried to separate the two, but neither agreed to change their behaviour. Almost eight years ago, the family decided to marry the accused to a woman from Etawah, which created more distance between him and his aunt. During the investigation, the man admitted this. He also told officers that his uncle suffers from a respiratory illness. Recalling events from 2015, when he was 23 years old, he said his aunt, who is the mother of the teenage girl, had once called him to her home for some work. During that time, the accused and his aunt began a physical relationship, which went on for two years. Due to his regular visits, family members started to suspect something and his uncle caught them together. The family tried to make them end the relationship, but they refused and in 2017, the man married another woman. After this, both families stopped speaking to each other about the matter. Meanwhile, the girl's father had filed a police complaint against him and five others. Bidhuna Kotwal Mukesh Babu Chauhan explained that the accused and the teenage girl were from the same community, which had only seven families living in their village. On the night of Raksha Bandhan, when the crime took place, the accused's wife was away in her parents' home in Etawah, along with their two children. During the postmortem, hairs were found in the teenager's nails and hands. Police have collected these samples to compare them with the 33-year-old man's hair. The samples have been sent to the forensic science lab in Jhansi for the DNA tests. Investigators are confident that this evidence will help ensure justice for the victim and they will will be able to punish the man soon. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

5 held in schoolgirl gang-rape case
Kendrapara: Police on Wednesday arrested four more persons for their alleged involvement in the gang-rape of a 15-year-old schoolgirl in Kendrapara district. With this, the total number of arrests in the case has risen to five. Police on Tuesday arrested a 29-year-old close relative of the survivor, who allegedly lured her to a secluded location where she was assaulted by the five men. All five have been booked under various sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. While the relative has already been sent to jail after a local court rejected his bail application, the four others will be produced in court. Police said the accused also recorded the assault on video. According to the FIR, the survivor alleged that her relative visited their residence on Raksha Bandhan (August 9) and offered to take her to a temple in a nearby village. Instead, she was taken to a deserted spot, where four others were waiting, and was gang-raped. 'It seemed that the crime was pre-planned and the relative of the girl was the main accused,' a police officer said. The accused allegedly threatened her with dire consequences if she revealed the incident to her family. The survivor's statement was recorded on Wednesday in the presence of a magistrate, an officer added.
