Allahabad: In a cruel feat of rage, a seven year-old girl was beaten to death in Allahabad by her parents, accusing her of theft. "The girl named Chunni, who was the youngest among five siblings, was alleged to have stolen 1,000 from the house," the police said. The father, who is an auto-rickshaw driver had found that an amount of 1,000 kept in his wallet was missing and accusing the little girl of the theft, he began beating her with sticks. The mother, who works as a Class IV employee at a local hospital, joined her husband in the act till the child died. The neighbors, who were horrified at the sight of the girl being beaten up by her own parents, brought it to the notice of the police. The police found the child's body neatly wrapped in a piece of cloth, which her parents were apparently planning to dump at some unidentified place. They arrested the couple under the testimony of the girl�s elder sister.
