Gopal told police that he had killed the girl. He said he went to the girl’s house after consuming alcohol on Saturday evening. <br /><br />“Finding her alone, he tried to misbehave with her. She objected to it and told him that she would inform her brother,” Chaudhry said.<br /><br />Furious over this, Gopal attacked her with a wooden bread-roller.
