Lakhimpur Kheri (Uttar Pradesh) [India]: The Uttar Pradesh Police on Thursday said it arrested a person accused of murdering a minor girl after a failed rape attempt in the Lakhimpur Kheri district of Uttar Pradesh.

The accused was apprehended after a brief exchange of fire with the police, officers informed.

Police said the accused, identified as 23-year-old Saddam, was arrested after being injured in an encounter.

Ganesh Prasad Saha, SP, Lakhimpur Kheri told media, “A missing person’s report for a minor girl was lodged on October 8. The day after, she was found dead in a sugarcane field.

A team was put together to track down the accused. After a brief exchange of fire, the accused, who is about 23 years old, was arrested.”

The SP informed that the accused was known to the victim as they lived close to each other.
