Two accused have been arrested by the Nagaon police on Friday after they were alleged of murdering a 12-year-old girl.

Sources said that the girl was trying to go home after work, but the owners did not let her and instead poured kerosene oil on her.

"As per her employer, the girl committed suicide. However, after initial inspection, it is suspected that she was murdered and then burnt. She was also underage to be working as domestic help. Therefore, (the) two accused were taken into custody immediately. The investigation is on," Assam DGP tweeted.
