Jalandhar had recently been in the grip of such cases where women safety remains a grave concern.
Just over a fortnight ago, a rape accused was nabbed by the police in Jalandhar.
It was later found out that the accused had been a serial killer who had raped, abducted and killed many young girls.
The accused had confessed that during the celebration of the Mata Saraswati Utsav in Jalandhar, he took a girl, aged eight, to a plot near Dhadde village on the Hoshiarpur road on the pretext of buying her some “prasad” where he raped her and then strangled her with a piece of cloth, The Tribune reported.
