However, the police claimed that the girl’s father approached them four days after she went missing.

While the girl’s family is continuously alleging that it is a case of rape and murder, the police have a whole different stance on the matter. According to Rajiv Mishra, a senior police officer in Gaya, quoted by NDTV, the girl returned to the house on December 31, 3 days after she left. It was revealed by the girl’s mother and sister. The police added that her father has sent her with a man on the same day at around 10 pm.
