The police in India arrested a teen girl who made four men rape her 13-year-old younger sister and helped the suspects to strangle the victim to death after the horrific act, reports said.
The incident was reported from Lakhimpur Kheri, a city in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday. The unidentified teenager, who was reportedly in a relationship with the men, committed the crime after the victim opposed it, Hindustan Times reported.
The police arrested seven suspects Wednesday including the victim's elder sister, the four men who sexually assaulted the victim, identified as Ranjit Chauhan, Amar Singh, Ankit, and Sandip Chauhan, and two of their aides, Deepu Chauhan and Arjun, who stood guard during the assault.
"The two sisters had frequent quarrels (with the victim) after the younger one recently came to know about the elder one's illicit relations with the four men and objected to it," SP Sanjeev Suman, an investigating officer said explaining the motive behind the gruesome murder.
The teen suspect reportedly took the younger sister to a sugarcane field near her home Tuesday where the victim was attacked by the four men. When the girl tried to resist the assault, the elder sister forcibly held the victim's hand and made the suspects rape the girl. After the assault, the teen girl also helped the men to strangulate her younger sibling, police said.
The investigation began after the victim's body was spotted later that day. During interrogation, the sister confessed her involvement in the crime and narrated the incident to the police, Times Now reported.

Earlier this week, a Texas woman was wanted for allegedly murdering her sister and forcing her 13-year-old son to help dispose of the victim's body. The suspect, identified as Carmen White, allegedly shot the victim, Cynthia Cervantes, multiple times in the back of the neck and dumped her body before setting it on fire. The victim's family believes that White, who had an altercation with Cervantes, took revenge on her after she called the cops on her in February.
