Medininagar, Nov 9 (PTI) The body of an 11-year-old girl, who had been missing for two days, was found in a well on Sunday in Jharkhand's Palamu district, police said.

The girl had been missing since Friday, and her father had lodged a missing persons' complaint at the Chainpur police station.

"This morning, her body was recovered from a well. It was sent for a post-mortem examination to the Medinirai Medical College & Hospital (MMCH)," SDPO Mani Bhushan Prasad said.

"Prima facie, it seems to be a murder. It is suspected that she has been strangulated. Whether she was raped can be known from the post-mortem examination," he said.
