The Ravet police on Tuesday filed a case on the incident that was reported on August 13 last year.

According to the police, the girl’s father had parked his mini truck with key in ignition in front of his house at Ganeshnagar in Ravet.

His younger brother tried to operate the truck by using the key and the vehicle crashed into the house killing the girl.
