Body Of Girl, Found Inside Bag In Greater Noida

The family lived together in a village…


The body of a two-year-old girl was missing for the last two days.

On Sunday, her body was found in a bag hanging on her neighbour's door, the police told the media.

When the child went missing last week, the neighbour had pretended to help her parents look for her.

He fled away when his house started reeking because of the dead body.

Two-year-old Mansi's parents and her seven-month-old brother live in a rented house in Devla village.

Her parents are daily wage workers who work in a factory nearby only.

Her father, Shiv Kumar, went to work and her mother, Manju, went to the market on Friday but when they returned, Mansi was not at home.

When they didn’t find her, the parents filed a missing report.

Two days later, Shiv Kumar complained of a bad smell from his neighbour's locked house.

With the help of the police, Shiv Kumar managed to enter the house. They found Mansi's body in a bag hung from a door. She was strangled, a post-mortem report.

"Rape was not confirmed in the post-mortem report. The accused has absconded but police teams are looking for him," said senior Noida police officer Rajeev Dixit.

 

Special police teams have been formed to catch Raghavendra who is from Uttar Pradesh's Ballia, Mr. Dixit added.
