Shock and anger struck Darbhanga when a six-year-old girl, who had gone out to play while her house was still open, was discovered on the verge of her house and was raped, brutally murdered late on Saturday night by a pond.
The child had gone out in the evening with two other children but never came back causing a frantic search of her family and neighbours. Her body was found some hours after as she heard the barking dogs in a remote place and this brought the neighbours to grief and anger. This was at once reported to the police.
