Cuttack: A six-year-old girl was rescued in a critical condition from a school premises in Jagannathpur village under Salipur Police limits in the district on Saturday night.

The victim, a Class 1 student was found lying unconscious on the verandah of Jagannathpur Nodal UP School in a semi-nude state. Blood was also seen oozing out of her mouth pointing at foul play.

Family members of the victim rushed her to Salipur CHC and then shifted to SCB Medical in Cuttack where she had been kept in the ICU.

A relative of the victim said, she went missing after leaving home for a nearby market to buy biscuits at around 6 PM yesterday. Few hours later three bike-borne youths reached her house and informed about her whereabouts.

“It seems the miscreants have first sexually exploited the child and then tried to kill her by strangulating. She was also found with multiple head injury. We demand immediate arrest of the accused,” said a relative of the victim.

Locals also staged a road blockade in the area over the incident demanding justice.

Meanwhile, the Salipur Police has detained one person in the case and started investigation. Help of the scientific team and dog squad is also being taken in the inquiry. All precautionary measures have also been put in place to maintain law and order in the village in view of the fact that the victim belongs to a minority community.
