Three sisters allegedly raped and killed in Maharashtra

February 20, 2013 08:49

It's perhaps one of the most horrific stories of sexual abuse. Three sisters aged 11, nine and five years were brutally raped and killed and then their bodies were thrown in a well near Lakhni village in Bhandara district of Maharashtra.

On February 14, the day when the whole world celebrated the One Billion Rising movement to fight violence against women, the siblings, coming from financially weaker background, were lured to a dhaba, just a few hundred metres from their home, on the promise of food.

The mother of the children, who works as a domestic help, filed a missing persons' complaint that night after the girls didn't return home. The next morning, cops recovered their bodies on the outskirts of the village, next to the roadside dhaba.
