Hathras: A six-year-old girl was found dead in a well in the Hathras, leading to the arrest of a woman and the detention of a teenager. The woman allegedly confessed to murdering the girl after she saw them together in a compromising situation. The incident was reported from the Sikandra Rau Police Station area.
The girl had been missing since approximately 10:00 am on Wednesday, September 3, after leaving her home, where a function was taking place.
