Gonda, April 8 (IANS) The body of a minor girl, who went missing from her house four days ago, was recovered from a car parked in self-styled godman and rape convict Asaram's ashram in Uttar Pradesh's Gonda district on Friday.
The car had been parked in the ashram premises in Bimour village of Nagar Kotwali area since past several days.
When a foul smell emanated from the car in the morning, the ashram staff opened the vehicle and saw the body inside after which they informed the police.
The police reached the spot, took custody of the body and sent it for post-mortem.
Initial investigations suggest that it is a case of murder and the body was hidden in the car, the police said.
Police and forensic teams are searching the ashram and the car.
The official informed that the high-mast flags have already been erected at three locations -- East Kidwai Nagar, East Vinod Nagar and Rani Bagh. The remaining two in Kalkaji and Dwarka will also be erected by August 15.
The Home Ministry's response came after the Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal's tweet apprehending that the Centre was planning to appoint a full- fledged Administrator for Chandigarh.
The food claimed the lives of three of her family members including the father, younger sister and elder brother last week. The police said that the 15-year-old girl had mixed weedicides into food to 'punish' her brother and mother who used to rebuke and scold her over household chores.
The deceased, a resident of Nachinola village in North Goa, was missing since Wednesday morning and a missing complaint was filed by her father with a local police station.
The area has been cordoned off and additional forces have reached the spot. Police said the terrorists involved in firing have been trapped and an operation has been started by the police and security forces.
