The accused, including a 55-year-old priest of the crematorium, were booked on charges of rape, murder and intimidation under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Act and sections related to the SC/ST Act. They were sent to jail.

Although the accused says that the girl died due to an electric current while bringing water from the electric cooler, but the family alleges that the body was cremated in a hurry after the suspects informed the police about her death. Went. Farmed.
