Andhra minor gangraped, murdered by boys from same school, body dumped in canal

An eight-year-old schoolgirl was allegedly gang-raped and murdered by three senior students aged 12 and 13 in Nandyala district of Andhra Pradesh. The three minors, who have been detained by the police, confessed to disposing of the girl's body in an irrigation canal. However, the police have yet to recover the body of the victim.

The victim, a Class 3 student, and the accused, two Class 6 students and a Class 7 student all attended the same school.

Though the girl went missing and the complaint was filed on Sunday, the issue came to light only on Wednesday after the cops detained the suspects.
