A minor girl of 11 was found dead this afternoon at Chandpur near Keibul Lamjao in Bishnupur district under Moirang police station.
Whereas it is suspected that the girl was murdered after being raped, one accused has surrendered to police.
The girl's grandmother told media persons at RIMS mortuary that the girl was found murdered when both her parents were away at work and she herself was in a fish farm.
The girl reading in Class IV at a local private school had just had her lunch at around 1 pm after coming back from school.
A few minutes later, the girl was not found at home.
Soon, the family started searching for her.
There is a Government Primary School close to the girl's home.
As one party went searching for her in the direction of the school, one of her slippers was found.
On searching further, the girl was found dead inside the school campus near a brick wall at around 2.30 pm.
The spot where the girl was found dead is quite isolated but shrubs grown there were found all rustled up.
The accused who surrendered to Moirang police is just 17 years old.
He and the girl belong to the same clan, said the bereaved grandmother.
Moirang police have picked up and deposited the girl's body at RIMS morgue.
The body has many injury marks at different parts.
Meanwhile, it is reported that a public meeting was held this evening at the locality of the girl in connection with the shocking murder.
