Once the boy came to the village with a group and took the girl from the road to the bamboo grove.
There they raped the girl.
They then killed the girl and left her there.
The girl's body was recovered from the spot the next day, and buried without janazah according to Imam Sahib's fatwa.
Before that, the police came and looked, but they could not do anything.
After this incident, the girl's family left their house and went somewhere else.
The man continued saying without stopping once,
Since then, the people of the village began to say that sometimes a girl was seen sitting alone crying in that bamboo grove and the young boy took her away.
So people did not use that road at night unless it was very necessary.
I was not very old then, so everyone forbade me to walk through that place.
But I didn't care much about these things.
I thought they were rumours.
Still, I didn't go through that place much.
One night incident, still vividly remembered.
At best I was returning home from the market.
On my way back, I thought I would visit your grandmother's house.
Then I left through that road.
Although I didn't believe much in ghosts, I was still a little scared that day.
I did not feel the need to light the torch as there was moonlight in the sky.
