The girl was reported missing around 5:30 pm after being last seen playing outside her house. Police later found her body approximately 700 metres from home.
CCTV footage revealed the accused, a 65-year-old man named Bhimrao Kamble, luring her towards a cattle shed before the assault. Kamble was arrested shortly after the discovery of the body.
