The brutal rape and murder of a four-year-old girl in Nasrapur on May 2, 2026, has ignited significant public outrage. The incident has led to widespread protests demanding justice, as the community grapples with the horrifying details surrounding the crime.
At approximately 5:30 pm, the girl was reported missing after last being seen playing outside her home. In a chilling turn of events, CCTV footage revealed the accused—65-year-old Bhimrao Kamble—luring her towards a nearby cattle shed at around 3:30 pm. Tragically, her lifeless body was discovered about 700 meters from her home.
The local police moved swiftly, arresting Kamble soon after the discovery. This man was not new to allegations; he had a history of sexual offences dating back to a molestation case in 1998. Following his arrest, Sandeep Singh Gill stated, “Our teams immediately began reviewing CCTV footage and gathering local intelligence.”
In response to the horrific crime, villagers erupted in protests. They blocked the Pune-Bengaluru highway for over an hour, expressing their collective grief and anger. Police reported using mild force to clear the traffic blockades caused by these demonstrations.
The state government is taking this matter seriously; officials have announced plans to seek a fast-track court trial and pursue the death penalty for Kamble. Devendra Fadnavis remarked that “the state govt would move for a fast-track court trial and seek death penalty for the accused,” emphasizing their commitment to justice.
The girl’s body was taken to Sassoon General Hospital for a post-mortem examination. Authorities collected her internal organs for forensic analysis as part of the investigation into this heinous act.
This tragic incident is more than just a local news story; it reflects broader societal issues regarding safety and justice for vulnerable populations. The community’s response showcases their determination to demand accountability and ensure that such atrocities do not go unpunished.
