Maharashtra: A 30-year-old man killed his 12-year-old sister after seeing blood stains on her cloth and thinking she got physical with someone in Thane, Maharashtra. According to the police, she had her first period.
In Ulhasna, the girl resided with her brother and sister-in-law. The girl’s menstruation had begun a few days before, and she was bleeding. When her brother spotted the bloodstains on her clothes, he began to question whether she was having an affair. The child, on the other hand, was unaware of the monthly cycle and was unable to explain the bloodstains when questioned by her brother. He also burned her with tongs on the mouth, back, and other portions of her body, causing significant burn injuries.
A police officer said, “He accused her of having an affair with someone.”
The incident came to light after the girl was sent to the Central Hospital in Ulhasnagar for treatment, where she was certified “brought dead.” A murder case has been filed under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. A post-mortem examination has been ordered for the girl’s body.
