This happened a day after the body of a seven-year-old boy was found from the almirah of his neighbours in Malko village near Lambra.
On investigation, the police got hold of a CCTV footage from a nearby factory. Police said two migrants were captured dumping the body at the plot. They were taken into custody, said the police.
A forensic team was called on the spot.
Three years ago, the girl had been a victim of attempt to rape by a man in his 30s named Raman, who is now absconding.
