Hyderabad: The three school boys who raped and murdered an eight-year-old girl in Nandyal district of Andhra Pradesh on July 7 had watched pornographic videos on the phone and tried to repeat the attack on the minor girl. The accused committed this crime in a temple.
SP Adhiraj Singh Rana said that the accused’s father and uncle were scared that a case would be filed against their child, so they took the girl’s body on a bike, tied it to a stone and threw it in the Krishna river. In this case, two accused are 12 years old, who study in class 6, while the third boy is 13 years old, who studies in class 7.

Andhra Pradesh Home Minister V Anitha said Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has announced financial assistance of Rs 10 lakh to the minor girl’s family.
