AGRA: A 16-year-old girl and her 20-year-old boyfriend were arrested in Etah for allegedly strangling the girl’s 13-year-old brother after he caught them in a compromising position inside the house.Police said the incident took place late on Sunday in Nagla Mitan village under Jalesar police station limits. The next morning, the boy’s body was found inside the house, following which a police team reached the spot and began investigations. Jalesar SHO Sudhir Kumar Singh said the autopsy confirmed death by strangulation. The boy was a Class 4 student, while his sister had dropped out of school.Preliminary probe revealed that the girl was in a relationship with Vinay Sharma (20), a resident of the same village. During interrogation, she initially tried to mislead investigators but later confessed in the presence of her family.“Her father was away at his farm, and her mother was also not at home when Sharma, who’s unemployed, visited her late at night. The boy walked in on them and threatened to raise an alarm. To silence him, Sharma allegedly held his mouth shut while the girl strangled him. Afterwards, Sharma fled. The girl then tried to stage a drama the next morning by pretending to discover her brother dead,” Singh said.DSP Jalesar Gyanendra Pratap Singh said Sharma was sent to jail on Tuesday, while the girl has been lodged in a juvenile home.
