The investigating police officials have said the girl was abducted from her house on Saturday morning when she was asleep with her mother and sister.
The minors' mother was quoted by Times Now as saying: "I slept at 9 pm along with my children. When I woke up in the morning, my daughter wasn't there... I couldn't find her. I asked the neighbours, they said they hadn't seen her."
The police also said unidentified men took the girl to a deserted place in Uklana, raped her and then violated her, then leaving her dead.
The girl's body was taken to her home after a few passers-by reportedly saw her lying in a pool of blood. The doctors after conductuing the postmortem said that they found wooden pieces in her private parts.
Her mother said: "Her body was in a very bad condition. They inserted wood in her private parts. Her condition was terrible. Her body was soaked in blood."
The girls' uncle said: "The body was found violated with a wooden stick. There was blood everywhere, even coming out of the mouth."
