Mohali, November 18 

While the local police are still groping in the dark in the case of rape and murder of a 17-year-old maid from Mataur village for the past four days, another minor girl from the village has gone missing.

The victim, Shivani (15), worked as a maid at the Meritorious School in Sector 70 here. 

In his complaint to the police, the victim’s father Brajesh Kumar alleged that after coming from her work place on November 16, Shivani left the house at around 5 pm, saying that she was going to her aunt’s house, which was in Mataur itself. As she did not return, the family enquired about her from the aunt and came to know that she did not go there. 

Inspector Jarnail Singh, SHO, Mataur police station, said the victim was not having a mobile phone. “The kin and acquaintances of the family are being contacted. We are trying to find out whom was she in touch with,” said the cop, adding that a case under Sections 363 and 366A of the IPC has been registered in this connection.

Cops clueless on minor maid’s rape, murder Meanwhile, the local police are clueless in the case of rape and murder of the 17-year-old girl from Mataur, who worked as a maid at a house in Sector 69 here. 

On November 9, the victim, a resident of Mataur village, had not returned home from her workplace in Sector 69. She worked as a domestic assistant at a house there and had called it a day in the evening. Six days later, her decomposed body, having multiple stab injuries in the abdomen, chest and neck, was recovered from dumping yard area in Sector 69 here. The postmortem report stated that the victim was raped before murder. 

Sub-Inspector Rajiv Kumar, SHO, Phase VIII police station, said despite quizzing a number of persons, including acquaintances of the victim’s family members, and scrutinising several CCTV footages and mobile call details of some suspicious persons, they failed to get a clue to the crime.

“We have not lost hopes. Investigation in the case is on,” said the SHO.
