A girl studying in class XII was allegedly raped and murdered by a youth in Faridabad on the outskirts of Delhi, sparking protests in the area, police said on Friday.

When she did not return home by late evening, her worried family members stepped out to trace her.

As the news spread in the morning, angry residents of the area protested against the heinous crime, demonstrated in front of the police station and blocked the roads.
