UP man arrested for rape-murder of minor

A heartbreaking case from Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh: a man named Sachin, who worked as domestic help for a family in Pachdeora village, has been arrested after allegedly raping and killing their six-year-old daughter.
The girl went missing on Sunday morning and was later found dead in a drain after Sachin led police to the spot.

TL;DR

Investigators are gathering evidence, and officials have promised strict action—Superintendent of Police Neeraj Kumar Jadoun assured the family that "severe punishment" will be sought for the accused.
