A horrific incident has sent shockwaves through Bengaluru’s migrant community after a four-year-old girl, originally from Assam, was found dead in a vacant plot in the city’s southeastern suburbs. The child, whose parents are daily-wage labourers who moved to the city in search of work, had been reported missing late Saturday evening after she failed to return home from playing nearby. Local police discovered her body in the early hours of Sunday morning, noting visible signs of physical struggle and trauma. Based on the preliminary medical examination, senior police officials have registered a case of murder and have strongly suspected sexual assault, leading to the invocation of the POCSO Act
Special investigative teams have been formed to track down the perpetrator, with authorities currently scanning CCTV footage from nearby commercial establishments and questioning residents in the labor colony. The incident has sparked intense grief and anger, with local community leaders and activists demanding a fast-track trial and increased safety measures for the vulnerable children of migrant workers. As forensic reports are awaited to confirm the exact nature of the assault, the Bengaluru City Police have intensified patrolling in the area, emphasizing their commitment to a swift and rigorous investigation to bring justice to the grieving family.
