Hyderabad: A six-year-old girl who went missing from an apartment complex at Kowkur in Bollaram was found murdered on Saturday night.

During the investigation, the police found the girl’s body dumped in the cellar of the apartment complex’s clubhouse. The security guard, identified as Vikram, came under suspicion after CCTV footage reportedly showed the child with him before she went missing.

The police also found that the guard had allegedly been moving around the apartment complex suspiciously for the past two days.

The case took a disturbing turn after an audio clip purportedly linked to the incident went viral. In the clip, a demand for Rs. 20 lakh was allegedly made to the child’s family, along with instructions to transfer the money to a bank account.

Meanwhile, the police intensified efforts to trace Vikram after preliminary investigations pointed to his suspected involvement. His mobile phone signals were reportedly traced to Secunderabad, prompting police teams to search railway stations in the city to track him down.

Further details are awaited.
