The quiet of an Andhra Pradesh night was broken at the stroke of midnight on October 26, 2026. In Naguluppalapadu mandal, a six-year-old girl, whose parents work in Hyderabad, slept outside her grandmother’s house. The darkness that should have offered protection instead became the stage for a crime that would ripple through the village.
A man named Anand entered the scene. He kidnapped the child, raping and murdering her in a brutal act that defied every sense of humanity. After committing the atrocity, Anand left the girl’s body on a chair in front of his own house and fled. The abandoned child became the centre of a tragedy that alert villagers would soon bring before the police.
When villagers stumbled upon the scene, their horror quickly turned to resolve. They seized Anand, beat him and handed him over to the police. The accused was subsequently remanded into custody, while police continued with the recovery of the girl’s body.
The girl had been staying with her grandmother in Naguluppalapadu mandal while her parents, who work in Hyderabad, were not with her at the time.
Police officers recovered the body and sent it to RIMS for a post-mortem. Anand was remanded into custody following the villagers’ intervention. The post-mortem at RIMS and the accused’s custody were the stated steps taken by the police after the body was recovered.
