HYDERABAD: A man was arrested by the police for the gruesome murder of his 12-year-old daughter in Miyapur in Hyderabad. He allegedly killed the girl when she resisted his attempt to rape her.
On June 7, the girl's parents, Vasantha, lodged a case of missing at the Miyapur Police Station on June 7. However, on June 14, Vasantha's decomposed body was found in a forest area at Miyapur.
Initially, Miyapur police registered a case of suspicious death and began the investigation. Based on CCTV footage analysis by four police teams, the accused, identified as the girl's father, Naresh, was apprehended.
Miyapur ACP Narasimha Rao revealed details of the investigation during a press conference on Wednesday. He said that the police launched a thorough investigation after the girl's disappearance, which solved the mystery within a week. Initially suspecting the father, the police conducted their inquiry methodically.
According to the police, Banothu Naresh, who has a history of alcohol abuse and watching pornographic videos, pressured his daughter to fulfill his desires. When Vasantha screamed that she would inform her mother, Naresh, in a fit of rage, killed her. He took her to the bushes near Nadigadda Thanda, assaulted her, and then hit her with a stone, leading to her death. Naresh left the scene after ensuring his daughter was dead.
The entire crime occurred within 11 minutes. Naresh returned to the murder site multiple times over the next three days to check on the body. On the day of the murder, Naresh and his wife reported their daughter missing to the police, with Naresh maintaining a facade of ignorance for a week.
The family originally hailed from Laxman Thanda of Ellampet village, Marripeda mandal, Mahbubabad district, and had migrated to Nadigadda Thanda in Miyapur, Hyderabad, for livelihood. The murder took place on June 7, just 15 days after they arrived in the area.
Police solved the case by meticulously reviewing CCTV footage from four teams. Naresh was arrested and remanded into custody.
