NEW DELHI:
Investigators said that the accused first strangled the victim and then tied her body by the neck to a window grille using her pyjamas in an attempt to pass off the death as suicide.

The case came to light on Monday night when the girl did not return after leaving home to play outside at around 6pm. Officers said that police, the girl's family, locals and army officials looked for the girl for nearly seven hours, during which the suspect offered his assistance in the search operation.
The girl's parents and the suspect work as house help at the official residences of Indian army officers, they added.
