Two days after going missing in the Tajganj area in Uttar Pradesh's Agra, an eight-year-old girl was found dead inside the rented room of her own house, police said.
The victim was found inside a flour container in a room that the family had rented out to one Sunil, the accused who allegedly also joined the search for the girl before fleeing.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (City) Ali Abbas said the girl had gone missing from the Siddhant Nagar locality in the Tajganj area, around 4 pm on March 24.
Eight teams were deployed to trace the child, and CCTV footage from the surrounding areas was scanned. The girl was seen entering the locality in one camera, but did not appear in any subsequent footage.
Sunil, who reportedly rented the room, used to live in the same house as the victim, Abbas added.
During the search, the girl's body was recovered from a flour container inside the room, the officer said.
The accused is absconding, and multiple police teams have been formed to trace him.
The body has been sent for post-mortem examination to determine the cause of death.
