Sundargarh: A man was nabbed and forwarded to court by Sundargarh Police on Thursday for raping and killing a four-year-old minor girl on October 21 evening.

The accused, Sanjib Kerketta, entered the minor girl’s home and kidnapped her on October 21 evening. Though some locals chased Kerketta carrying the minor girl smelling something fishy about his behaviour, he managed to escape.

Four days after the kidnapping of the victim, some people found a decomposed dead body of a minor girl at an under-construction house.

As suspicion grew about Kerketta, local police brought him to the police station and grilled to elicit information about the incident.
