The minor girl who murdered her mother and daughter in Lucknow’s Gautampalli has got permission to stay at home. She has arrived at home with her father. Police said the court said that he would be kept under KGMU under medical supervision during the detention period.
The girl’s father had given an application requesting that she be allowed to stay in the house while in custody as she is mentally disturbed and needs emotional support.
The police officer said, as a result of the demand for custody, we also told the magistrate that since the case falls in the rarest category, the police has no objection to the court considering the father’s request on humanitarian grounds. The girl was also taken to KGMU for investigation by a child psychiatrist.
Significantly, the girl allegedly shot her 47-year-old mother and 17-year-old brother with a .22 bore pistol while they were sleeping, killing them on the spot. The incident took place on Saturday.
