Srinagar: While giving out the chilling details of the minor girl who was abducted by the stepmother and gang-raped by the victim’s step-brother and his friends in Uri area of Baramulla, SSP Baramulla, Imtiyaz Hussain broke down and said, “never in my 20 years have I witnessed a case like this.”

“The girl’s eyes were removed. Acid had been thrown on her torso. We seized the acid bottles at her house. They had hit her on the head with an axe. I don’t have words to express what I have seen,” he said in a video, while revealing the events.

“This incident shows how far we have gone. Our state is filled with violence, anger, beastly behaviour,” he said. “We need to teach our children to be humans. We need to teach them humanity. This incident involves two minor young boys- it is beyond our understanding and patience,” he further said.
