A day after bodies of two girls raped and murdered were recovered from a Telangana village in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district, the police today began search for the skeletal remains of a third girl, also raped and murdered by the same man.

Following violent protests, the police were forced to launch fresh probe into all cases of missing girls from nearby villages.

Hajipur village was rocked by the sensational revelations that the 27-year-old accused of rape and murder of a girl last week has been involved in a series of such offences over the last four years.

Srinivas Reddy, who was in police custody, allegedly raped and killed at least three girls and dumped the bodies of two of them in a dry abandoned well on a land owned by him near the village.

The gruesome details came to light during the investigations into the rape and murder of a Class 10 student.

The 14-year-old victim from Hajipur had gone missing while returning home from her school in Keesara on April 25. The next day, the police found her bag near the well and her body was found inside the well.

While retrieving her body from the well, the police also found skeletal remains of another girl. Investigations revealed that the skeletal remains were of an 18-year-old, who had been missing since April. — IANS
