Following
the body's recovery on August 27, police launched an investigation and enlisted
the help of forensic investigators.

"The
examination into the crime scene indicated that the perpetrators may have tried
to pass off the death as a suicide, but the facts revealed otherwise. According
to the postmortem report we received, the body may have suffered from nose and
skull fractures. We then began interviewing the family members, according to
Inspector General of Police for the Surguja Range, Ajay Yadav.

deceased's claims because they didn't receive a clear explanation for how they
located the body.

The
missing girl kid had not been to school since June 24, according to the school
attendance record, but the family had been providing false information,
claiming that their daughter had vanished on June 29.

After
prolonged questioning, the parents admitted that a small matter led to the
murder.

"On
the day of the incident, Vishwanath questioned his daughter about why she
hadn't let the cattle out to graze before asking her to cook him some dinner,
which she had not done.  Vishwanath began
abusing her daughter, which caused head injuries and her death. The body was
hidden inside the home by Vishwanath's wife Dilso, who later disposed of it in
the jungle in the evening, according to the IG, who also claimed that the
girl's parents had been harsh toward her.

a confession or disclosure statement made by any person to a police officer is
not admissible as evidence in court. The only admissible evidence against an
accused person is a confession made in front of a court.
