A tragic incident has shocked a local community after an eight-year-old girl, who had gone missing while shopping, was found dead inside a grain store, police said.


According to details, the child had left her home to buy household items from a nearby market but failed to return. When her family could not locate her, they raised the alarm and launched a search with the help of local residents. A missing person announcement was also circulated on social media.


The case took a grim turn when the girl’s father reviewed CCTV footage from the area and noticed her entering a grain store. However, she was not seen leaving the premises. Suspicion grew, and a search of the shop was conducted.


Police said the shop owner, who had reportedly been operating the business for nearly ten years, allegedly locked the child inside the store after committing the crime. The victim’s body was later discovered concealed in a sack within the shop.


Law enforcement authorities have arrested the suspect and launched further investigations. Officials said the accused will face legal proceedings, while community members have demanded strict punishment to ensure justice and deter similar crimes in the future.
