In a tragic news, a nine-year-old girl from Solai Nagar in Puducherry, who had gone missing, was found brutally murdered. Her hands and feet were tied, and her lifeless body was discovered in a sack dumped into a drain. An audio clip purportedly featuring the girl’s father alleging that ganja-consuming individuals mutilated and killed his daughter intensified the public outcry.
The fifth-grade student from Muthialpet Government School had gone missing on the evening of March 2, prompting her parents to alert authorities and initiate a search. The state of decomposition indicated that she had been deceased for a considerable period. Despite exhaustive efforts by multiple police teams and the aid of sniffer dogs over the past two days, locating the girl proved challenging. CCTV footage from a nearby street captured the last sighting of her, joyfully playing at noon.
The missing girl, a bright fifth-grade student, was the daughter of Narayanan, a driver, and Maithili, a worker at the Primary Health Centre (PMC). She went out to play in the afternoon and did not return home, leading her parents and concerned locals to file a report at the Muthialpet police station around 8 pm after extensive search efforts.
Seven individuals were arrested in connection with the incident, leading to a dawn investigation that exposed a 19-year-old youth named Karunas and his accomplice Vivekanandan (59) as involved in the abduction, attempted rape, and subsequent murder of the girl. The case has now been reclassified as a POCSO Act investigation, and a comprehensive inquiry is underway to uncover all details surrounding this tragic incident. The detainees, Vivekanandan (54) and Karunas (19), both residents of Puducherry, are currently undergoing interrogation.
According to a report by Nakkheeran, an audio clip of the girl’s father saying that ganja-stoned youths cut the girl’s arms and legs to pieces and killed her. In that audio, the audio is spreading saying, ‘Ganja-stoners 7 people have tied her hands and feet together and committed the act”. The police are also investigating on the basis of that audio.
This devastating incident has deeply affected the community in Puducherry, evoking strong reactions from various political figures and the public on social media. As tensions escalated, law enforcement authorities, supported by personnel from the Central Industrial Security Force, were deployed to ensure and uphold law and order.
In response to the tragic incident, Vijay, the film star and leader of the Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam, expressed his condolences saying “The murder of a 9-year-old girl from Muthialpet, Puducherry due to sexual harassment is heartbreaking. It is with a heavy heart that I offer my deepest condolences to the parents of the girl who has lost their daughter. On behalf of Tamil Nadu Vetri Kazhagam, I request that the Puducherry government should take appropriate action to get the maximum punishment according to the law to the killers who brutally and mercilessly killed the girl.”
