The key elements of the probe in the sensational murder case of the five-year-old minor girl in Nayagarh revealed by SIT chief Arun Bothra is sure to shock the conscience of the state and the nation. He said the accused youth killed the minor girl when she resisted his sexual advances, and then eventually raped her.

Speaking at a press conference at the Commissionerate Police headquarters to disclose the findings on the events and circumstances leading to the cruel crime, Bothra said that it was borne out of uncontrolled passion triggered by extreme addiction to child pornography by the accused, identified as Saroj Sethi who lived in the neighborhood of the victim girl.   “In fact, one of Sethi’s younger sisters happened to be a close friend of the victim who used to visit his home to eat Jamun from the tree in Sethi’s backyard,” Bothra said.

On the fateful day (July 14), the victim had visited Sethi’s house for the same purpose. “Sethi watched porn videos on his mobile phone throughout the night of July 13. The next day he was all alone at home as his sister and mother were out on work. He had lost his father years ago,” Bothra said.
