New Delhi, June 7 (IBNS): Congress president Rahul Gandhi and BSP chief Mayawati have expressed their shocks over the horrific murder of a two-year-old girl in Uttar Pradesh's Aligarh district and demanded that the killers be brought to justice.   

Rahul Gandhi tweeted: " The horrific murder of a little girl in Aligarh, UP has shocked and disturbed me. How can any human being treat a child with such brutality? This terrible crime must not go unpunished. The UP police must act swiftly to bring the killers to justice. "

Mayawati said demanded the UP government immediately put the culprits behind bars and mete out strict punishment under the rule of law.

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi  tweeted: "The fact that they were completely okay with murdering a child merely over money is heartbreaking. They deserve exemplary punishment The lack of empathy in society is an indicator of its health. We have to build a safer society, especially for our kids."

The girl's mutilated body was found on June 3 in a garbage bin and a post-mortem report revealed that she was strangled to death and her eyes gouged out.

According to the police, the child was murdered after her parents reportedly failed to give back a loan of Rs 10,000.

Police has arrested two persons and said they will investigate the matter under the National Security Act (NSA).
