He along with few others from the area launched a massive search and to their utter shock and horror, found the girl’s body, who was barely in her teens. She was lying near the firewood she had collected to carry back home. Extremely tragic, to say the least.

Last month, a 9-year-old girl was found dead in the vicinity of a relief camp for internally displaced people in Churachandpur district. The girl’s body was found with an injury mark on her neck and bloodstains around the body.
