Andhra Pradesh Home Minister V Anitha said Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu had sanctioned a compensation of Rs 10 lakh to the kin of the minor girl who was gang-raped in Nandyal district.

On July 7, three boys allegedly gang-raped the nine-year-old girl and then pushed her into the Mucchumarri Lift Irrigation Canal in Mucchumarri village. She was last seen playing in a park in the village.

“The Chief Minister has sanctioned a financial assistance of Rs 10 lakh to the kin of the minor girl,” Anitha said in a press release. The girl’s body is yet to be found as the boys were changing their versions about its whereabouts every day, she said.
