She informed the Police about the same. Police registered a case and formed two teams to look for the girl. It was found this morning, that the body of the girl has been found in a field. Senior officials and the Forensics team reached the spot and collected scientific evidence”.

The case will be cracked soon and the guilty will be given the strictest punishment through fast-track court. All teams are working towards it,” he added.
