“Her father was away at his farm, and her mother was also not at home when Sharma visited her late at night. The boy walked in on them and threatened to raise an alarm. To silence him, Sharma allegedly held his mouth shut while the girl strangled him. Afterwards, Sharma fled. The girl then tried to stage a drama the next morning by pretending to discover her brother dead,” the police said.
Vinay Sharma was sent to jail while the girl has been lodged in a juvenile home, the police said.
