The case of a six-year-old female student in Gujarat’s Dahod district, India, who was gruesomely murdered after a rape attempt sent cold chills down the spine of residents.
The Class 1 student was allegedly choked to death by her school’s principal after she resisted his attempts to sexually assault her.
He then dumped her body in the school’s compound and her bag and shoes near the classroom.
Police have arrested the accused, 55-year-old Govind Natt.
Senior police officer Rajdeep Singh Jhala said the six-year-old girl’s body was found on the premises of her school on Thursday evening, September 19, sparking panic in the area.
The post-mortem revealed that she had suffocated to death.
Police registered a case and formed 10 teams to probe the matter.
The girl’s mother told the police that she went to school with the principal, Govind Natt, every day.
Journey Of No Return
However, when the cops spoke to him, the principal said he had dropped off the girl at the school and left for some work.
The cops were not convinced.
When they examined Govind Natt’s phone location details on the day of the incident, it was found that he reached school late that day. When he was grilled, the principal confessed to the heinous crime.
“He picked up the girl from her home at around 10.20Â am.
Furthermore, her mother helped her get into the principal’s car and saw her off.
However, she never reached the school. The school’s students and teachers confirmed this.
