6-year-old cooks up murder story, sends police officers in tizzy

A six-year-old girl sent police in Southeast Delhi on a wild goose chase after she claimed that her friend's head was chopped off and was buried at a secluded spot in Sangam Vihar.

Officers swung into action after her parents told police about it. Police questioned the girl in the presence of her parents, but she could not remember the name of her friend or the place where she was buried.

It was later revealed that the girl cooked up the story. A police officer said she had gone to her neighbour's house to play with her friends and got late in returning home.

"Fearing that her parents might scold her, she told them that she saw somebody killing her friend by chopping off her head and then burying the body at a secluded place," the officer said.

Additional Commissioner of Police (Southeast) Ajay Chaudhary said: "There's no such incident. The child made up a story. There is nothing to worry."
