Five-Year-Old Girl Kidnapped and Found Murdered in Telangana Residential Complex
A five-year-old girl, daughter of an agricultural scientist, was kidnapped and found murdered in a gated community in Secunderabad, Telangana. The suspect, Vikram, a former security guard recently dismissed for misconduct, allegedly demanded a Rs 20 lakh ransom before the girl's death. Police discovered her body tied and dumped in a water sump at the residential complex's clubhouse cellar. Authorities have formed multiple teams to trace Vikram, who is currently absconding, and are investigating CCTV footage and phone data to reconstruct the events.
