According to the police, an eight-year-old girl was kidnapped from East Delhi's Khichripur three days ago for ransom. They took her to a village in Modinagar and were planning to call the girl's family to demand a ransom for her safe release. However, when they learnt that the police had leads that could end in their arrest, the men panicked and allegedly killed the girl by smashing her head with an iron rod, the police said.
