A breakthrough was achieved in a 5-month-old rape and murder case in India with the arrest of three men. The victim, a 14-year-old girl from Rajasthan, was found dead in a sack in Madhya Pradesh's Mandsaur district on December 27, 2024. Despite the body being cremated, the investigation continued, and a necklace made of 28 herbs, allegedly used to treat different diseases, was found around her neck. The necklace led investigators to a quack in Ujjain, who identified it as being made by a quack in Salamgarh village, Pratapgarh district, Rajasthan. An elderly man recognized the necklace and informed the police that it had been purchased by two men from Barwas Kalan village, Udaipur. The accused men, Badri Ninama (42), his brother Ramalal Ninama (50), and their friend Ramesh Meena (35), confessed to the crime, stating that they had raped and murdered the girl after her mother's death.
