The mother of a 14-year-old girl who was brutally killed by two youths has asked for capital punishment for the accused. The deceased, Vanshika Rathod, was missing since August 25 after she left for school and her body was found with multiple knife injuries, from a jungle at Waliv in Naigaon the next day.
Police have booked two accused—Santosh Makwana and Vishal Anbhawa, residents of Khar and Juhu, respectively—after CCTV footage from train stations showed the duo carrying the bag containing the body from Andheri to Naigaon in a local train. Both the accused are absconding.
