An 8-year-old girl’s gang rape and murder in kathua, jammu & kashmir in india.

Eight-year-old Asifa Bano had been raped, strangled with her own scarf and been bashed in the skull with a rock, police said.
KATHUA, India — The young girl’s body lay for three days in the forest where they left her.
The case — one more devastating example of child rape and killing in a country where such crimes are rising — attracted little attention until last week, when police charged seven men and one juvenile, including four police officers, in the girl’s death. Police allege that the men kidnapped Asifa as she tended to her family’s horses, held her for days in a remote shrine and raped her repeatedly before killing her.

 Asifa was Muslim. Her alleged assailants are Hindu, a circumstance ripe for conflict in a Hindu-dominated area in one of the most polarized states in India, where religious tensions and nationalism are rising under the conservative government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
