Police have arrested a 33-year-old man in Uttar Pradesh after he raped and murdered his 14-year-old cousin hours after getting a rakhi tied by her. The accused, Surjeet, hung the victim’s body from a noose to make it look like a suicide, police said on Tuesday.
The incident occurred in UP’s Auraiya.
According to police, a day after killing his cousin, Surjeet went back to the house as cops were carrying out their investigation and tried to mislead them. Suspicions against him arose after he resisted family members from answering police’s questions and spoke on their behalf.
