The victim’s parents, who hail from Odisha, are employed as labourers at the brick kiln. As their child did not return home, the family members searched for her but found her dead in a field, an official said based on preliminary information.
The child’s hands and neck were found bitten and she succumbed to severe injuries, the official quoted the family members as saying.
Police shifted the body to the Government Hospital in Sultanabad mandal for post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death. Further investigation is underway. PTI CORR VVK VVK SA

We’ve been asking the follow-up questions, going beyond the headlines and explaining what’s actually happening. We’ve travelled across the country to bring you in-depth, visually compelling stories from the ground. It’s been nine years of readers choosing to make this possible.
