Heart-breaking footage shows the moment that officials discovered the tragic girl’s body and lifted it up to ground level using a rope.

The girl was first reported missing by her grandfather at the Ramgarh Sethan police station on September 24 where he claimed his granddaughter had been kidnapped the night before.

Police then carried out an extensive search operation to find the missing girl and on Sunday afternoon, her lifeless body was discovered in a well. 

The police then transported the body to the mortuary of the Ramgarh Sethan government hospital. 

In accordance with the wishes of the family, the final rites were conducted in Jasrasar village, Sardarseher.

The girl was from the Churu district and had been living with her grandparents in Lavanda where she was studying.

‘Due to concerns of rape and murder, relevant sections of the law were added to the case, and further investigation was initiated after the body of the deceased minor was identified,’ an official told media.

The cops confirmed that the CCTV footage had revealed the identification of those responsible for the horrific crimes.

‘The CCTV footage installed along the route to the victim’s house has been reviewed and the suspects are seen approaching and leaving the victim’s residence,’ a police official told local media.

‘The identification has been confirmed through the CCTV footage of the suspects involved. One of the suspects also has an injury in his hand,’ the cop further maintained.

Family members have organised a large protest on Sunday to demand swift action is taken against the accused.

They also called for the attackers to face harsh punishment. The protesters maintained that the victim’s family should also be compensated.

Earlier this month, a 14-year-old girl was gang-raped before being burned alive in a furnace in India.

Officers have charged 11 men over the shocking sex attack and murder in Rajasthan after the bones of the teenager were found burning inside the kiln. 

The horrifying murder has caused anger and outrage not only among the bereaved family but across the country.

Only a few months ago, two women in Manipur were allegedly paraded naked and sexually assaulted by a mob.

The violence against women and young girls has led to nation-wide protests, with people demanding urgent action for their safety.
