A six-year-old girl who went missing from her residence in Greater Noida’s Haldoni village on Friday, August 28, was found dead inside a sack, sparking local outrage and an intensive police investigation. Investigators recovered the child's body in a nearby field after security camera footage captured a suspect luring her away and carrying her in a sack. The suspect was later killed in an encounter with the police.
The incident unfolded on Friday when the victim’s family noticed her missing from their home and filed a formal complaint with the police. A multi-team search operation was immediately launched, leading authorities to inspect closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras around the vicinity.

The surveillance video proved crucial to the probe. The footage showed the suspect—identified by locals as a man who worked at a nearby Labour Chowk and occasionally stayed on the victim’s family premises—taking the girl from near a local mosque while her family members were away at work. Subsequent clips showed him carrying a large sack toward an open field.
Following the suspect's detention and questioning based on the video evidence, police located and recovered the child's body from the field. Law enforcement officials confirmed that during further investigative procedures, the accused was shot and killed in a police encounter.
While the victim’s family has alleged that the girl was s*xually assaulted and murdered, authorities stated that all aspects of the case remain under investigation. A forensic science laboratory (FSL) team inspected the crime scene to collect physical evidence, and the child's body was sent for an autopsy.
