Allahabad: 7-year-old first raped by 15-year-old boy, then killed by alleged rapist's father

A minor girl was allegedly raped by a 15-year-old boy on 5 June and then murdered three weeks after the incident in a bid to stop her from sharing details of the crime.

The NDTV report added that according to the police, handing over of the victim's body to the family may have resulted in law and order problem.
