Thugs gouge two-year-old's eyes out and crush her hands in brutal killing
The world was left in shock when Twinkle Sharma, a mere two years old, was brutally murdered. The young girl had suffered horrific abuse, culminating in her savage death in Aligarh, India. In a monstrous act of retribution, the toddler was tortured by two men named Zahid and Aslam, who lived just 500 metres from her family's home. The pair strangled the little girl to death, gouged out her eyes and crushed her hands after her father failed to repay a loan. It is thought the loan amounted to 5,000 rupees, roughly equivalent to £42, and as their revenge for non-payment, they took the life of the innocent child. While the signs of such severe physical abuse are evident, it is suspected that the child may have also been subjected to sexual abuse. Twinkle Sharma had been reported missing since 31 May. Then the police received a chilling call - someone had spotted stray dogs dragging a mutilated human body from a rubbish bin, reports the Express. The body was later identified as that of the two year old girl. Her brutal murder was an act of 'revenge' (Image: Getty) The heartbroken mother of the innocent girl, Shilpa, said: "The stench of her body is still fresh in my nose. That image of her lying in a garbage heap, in that condition, haunts me. I do not think I can ever get it out of my head," according to The Print. The incident sent shockwaves around the world and Indians took to social media to express their outrage. The hashtag #TwinkleSharma amassed over 17,000 posts in just 24 hours as Indians demanded stricter punishment for the culprits, CGTN reports. Bollywood actor Ayushman Khurrana wrote: "This is inhumane and barbaric; my prayers for her family. Justice must be served. #TwinkleSharma. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh shared: "Makes me sick and angry to read such news!! "The govt and authorities must give the right punishment to such inhumane people who kill an innocent child. No outrage from the 'usual suspects' over the brutal murder of Twinkle Sharma in Aligarh." Another famous figure, Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan, shared at the time: "Just so disgusted and angered hearing about #twinklesharma. How can somebody even think of doing such a thing? Speechless.." The news of Twinkle's death emerged following a string of other horrific child killings across India, where the nation felt justice had failed to be delivered. In 2013, after public fury over the rape and murder of a student in Delhi, significant legislative reforms were implemented. The Indian government announced it would introduce capital punishment for rape cases resulting in death. Such measures are considered essential by many residents, as in 2016, 106 rapes were reported daily in India - with four out of every ten victims being children.
