Former Security Guard Held for Kidnap, Murder of Minor Girl in Hyderabad Gated Community
Police suspect an absconding former security guard kidnapped and killed the child after a Rs 20 lakh ransom demand, and a search is under way.
- On Sunday, investigators found the body of 5-year-old Aurelia inside a water tank at the Villa Orchids residential complex in Kowkoor, after she went missing while cycling on Saturday.
- Before the discovery, Aurelia's family received ransom demands for ₹20 lakh on Saturday evening, prompting the Bollarum police to treat the case as a kidnapping.
- CCTV footage from the gated community raised suspicion, helping investigators identify a former security guard, Vikram, as a suspect who was seen leaving the complex.
- The Bollarum police registered a case under Section 140 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, while authorities shifted the body to Gandhi Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
- Police suspect the accused restrained the child before strangling her out of fear of being caught, though investigators stated that further details will emerge once they arrest the primary suspect.
