The horrific incident is said to have taken place on April 24. According to sources, the accused brother allegely sexually assaulted her after watching a pornographic video.

The police, probing the case, have detained the accused brother, their mother and sisters aged 17 and 18 after interrogating 50 people, intense questioning of the accused persons and on the basis of technical evidence, officials said on Saturday.

News agency PTI quoted the Superintendent of Police Vivek Singh as saying, "A nine-year-old girl was raped and strangulated to death under Jawa police station limits on April 24, following which the police had registered a case and started a probe."

"The body of the victim was recovered from the courtyard of her house where she was sleeping at the time of the incident," he said.

It is learnt that the accused boy had slept beside her at night.

The boy later strangulated her when the victim threatened to narrate the ordeal to their father. The accused later confided in his mother who then found that the victim was still alive. On seeing that, the accused again strangled her, Singh said.

In the meantime, his two elder sisters also woke up and all of them changed the spot of their bed before informing the police to mislead the probe. However, they finally admitted to their crime after being repeatedly interrogated, he said.

Further legal steps are being taken after detaining the boy, his two sisters and their mother, the official said.

"The police received information on April 24 morning that the body of the girl was lying in the courtyard of the house. Evidence relating to rape and murder were found in the post-mortem report and an SIT team was constituted for the probe," Singh said.

In order to mislead the investigators, the family members had told the police that the girl died after being bitten by a poisonous insect, he said.

The probe revealed that there was no sign of anybody entering the house, and family members also denied hearing any sound during the night, he said.

"After collecting technical evidence and interrogation of 50 people, police found repeated changes in the statements of the family members. On the basis of suspicion, they were intensely interrogated, following which they admitted the crime," the SP said.
