2 men from the village of the girl have been arrested.

The girl was reportedly strangled, her eyes and tongue were cut.

The Uttar Pradesh Police said that the post-mortem report that came out on Sunday says the eyes of the girl were not gouged out or the tongue got cut.

The autopsy report confirmed the girl was raped and strangled.

Satendra Kumar, the SP of Kheri, said:

He eyes were not gouged and tongue was not cut. The claim is not true. There is nothing in the post-mortem report to suggest this. There were scratches near the eyes, likely due to the sharp sugarcane leaves where the body was found. mThe girl’s post mortem has confirmed rape. The two accused had been arrested already. We will file charges for rape, murder and also under the National Security Act.

The father of the girl said that his daughter went missing on the afternoon of Friday.

He added:

We went looking for her everywhere. Found her in the sugarcane field. Her eyes had been gouged out. Her tongue was cut and strangled with a dupatta.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim, may her soul rest in peace.
