A three-year-old girl was allegedly raped and beheaded by a man after she was kidnapped by the suspect from a platform of Tatanagar railway station in Jharkhand state's Jamshedpur city

The incident happened last Thursday night, 25 July, during which the little girl was picked up by the man in a t-shirt and shorts while she was sleeping next to her mother and her male companion, according to a closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage.

The Times of India, in its 1 August report, said that the suspect took the girl to the fabrication yard of ISWP company in Telco, about 4km from the station.

He then called his friend there and the duo took turns to rape the little girl. Once she started crying, the main suspect strangulated the girl to death.

He then beheaded her with a sharp weapon and stuffed the decapitated body in a bag and dumped it behind the boundary wall of ISWP, the Times of India reported.

While the police recovered the torso on Tuesday, the head has not been found yet.
