UP man rapes, kills teenager cousin hours after rakhi ceremony, hangs her from noose
Hours after getting a rakhi tied by his 14-year-old cousin, a 33-year-old man from Uttar Pradesh's Auraiya raped her, before murdering her and hanging her body from a noose to make it look like a suicide, media reports said on Tuesday.
The next day, he went back to the house when the police were probing the matter so he could misguide them.
However, the man instead ended up making them suspicious when he did not let the family members answer questions and spoke for them.
On Saturday morning, 33-year-old Surjeet went to his uncle's house and got a rakhi tied by his sister.
That same night, after drinking heavily, he went back to the house and raped the sleeping 14-year-old.
He then killed her and hung the body from a noose.
Her father was sleeping in another room in the house, but did not hear anything.
He found his daughter's body the following morning and informed the police.
Police said they could make out it was not a case of suicide as soon as they reached the house and saw blood stains in several places.
They began questioning the family members and noticed that Surjeet was always speaking for them.
The teen's body was sent for a post-mortem, which confirmed rape. Surjeet was taken into custody and confessed to the crime during questioning.
