A teenage girl's life was ended by a group of men who allegedly defiled her in an attack in India.
Police confirmed that three men, aged 20, 21, and 28, have been arrested in connection with the reported assault, which took place on November 1.
The 16-year-old was reportedly lured to a field by one of the suspects, whom she had allegedly known for several months, before being brutally attacked.
The men are accused of having carnal knowledge of the teenager before str@ngling her, reports the Express.
After being reported missing, the girl was discovered unconscious in the field and rushed to hospital, where she was placed on ventilator support.
Tragically, she passed away on Friday, November 6, before she was able to give a statement to police.
A post-mortem examination confirmed s£xual assault and revealed a broken neck, crushed jaw and fractured limbs.
The harrowing attack took place in the Firozabad district of Uttar Pradesh, India.
Local police confirmed that two of the suspects were arrested on November 1, with the third detained the following day.
Firozabad Senior Superintendent of Police Aditya Langesh said: "All three accused have been arrested. This case has been taken up on priority under Operation Conviction. Action will also be initiated against the accused under the Gangsters Act, including an investigation into their properties and steps for attachment or confiscation."
Additional Superintendent of Police Jaibind Gupta confirmed he was personally overseeing the inquiry, pledging justice for the victim's family and vowing that the harshest possible sentence would be sought should the accused be found guilty.
