In a shocker, the Rangareddy district police have come to the conclusion that Megavath Kamal, the father of the raped minor tribal girl, had himself raped and killed his daughter, and tried to misguide the case by inflicting an injury upon his own head.
The police announced this on Saturday.
It may be recalled that the police had registered a case on Friday that four unidentified persons had obstructed the duo at the railway gate in the Bantwaram mandal and had taken the minor girl away after attacking her father, and then killed the girl after gang-raping her.
However, the police found upon sustained investigation of the father that he himself had committed the crime, apparently in an inebriated condition. (NSS)
