Kanpur: A 33-year-old man was arrested in Uttar Pradesh's Auraiya on Tuesday for allegedly assaulting and killing his 14-year-old cousin, hours after she tied a rakhi on him. The accused, Surjeet, had visited his uncle's home on Rakshabandhan.
Police said that later that night, he allegedly attacked the girl and tried to pass it off as a suicide. Her father, asleep in another room, discovered her body the next morning and informed police. Bloodstains in the house raised suspicion, and investigators noted Surjeet's attempts to dissuade relatives from speaking.
He was detained and, during questioning, confessed to the crime, Auraiya SP Abhijeet Shankar said. An autopsy confirmed sexual assault. Samples collected from the victim and the suspect have been sent for forensic analysis at a Jhansi lab. Police said further action will follow after receiving the reports.
