V Rajeswari has been missing since Thursday and her parents lodged a missing complaint with the local police on Saturday
Khammam: A minor girl reportedly went missing under suspicious circumstances at Remidicherla village of Yerrupalem mandal in the district.
The girl, V Rajasri, aged 16 years, went missing on Friday when her parents went to Mangalagiri in Andhra Pradesh to visit a temple. Unable to find the girl on their return, her mother Vellanki Rani lodged a missing complaint with the local police.
She expressed doubts over her elder brother G Narasimha Rao’s involvement in the disappearance of her daughter. He was said to be conducting black magic rituals for the past 20 days at his house in the village in search of hidden treasures with the help of Prakash Sharma, a priest he hired from Bengaluru.
Following Rani’s complaint, police on Saturday searched Narasimha Rao residence and found a 30 feet deep hole half of which was filled with mud. Suspecting that the girl may have been sacrificed and buried, police removed the soil but found nothing.
The police found a letter purportedly written by Rajasri, whose handwriting was confirmed by one of her friends. In the letter, she stated that she was leaving the house ‘to educate herself and would return after the education was complete’.
The police have taken four persons including Narasimha Rao and his family members into custody for further questioning. Meanwhile, a search has been launched to find the missing girl, Madhira Inspector of Police, Murali informed the media.
