Gurgaon: An 18-year-old student, who was abducted last weekend, was on Thursday found murdered, police said, adding she might have been sexually assaulted before being killed.

The girl, a class 12 student and belonging to a Dalit family from Jatauli village near Heli Mandi, went missing under mysterious circumstances on Saturday. Her body was found in a mustard field here.

Her father had lodged a case of kidnapping at Pataudi police station on Sunday against Dharam Singh, a resident of the same village. The accused has been absconding.

An official of the Pataudi police station said that the girl`s body has injuries around throat and she might have been sexually assaulted before murder.
