Vijay Thakor, the man arrested by Gandhinagar police for allegedly raping three minor girls and murdering one of them, told police that he stalked little girls as they did not know about rape and would not even be able to say what had happened to them.

He said he targeted small girls because they could not resist. He said he realized this after he raped the first girl, seven years old, who he overpowered easily and no one even found out about his crime.

“The accused targeted small girls as they could not resist and he felt they would also not be able to tell anyone,” an investigator said.

He said that Thakor has a six-yearold daughter and his wife is seven months pregnant. For the past 15 days he could not have sex with his wife and decided to hunt for small girls.

“When he raped the first girl ten days ago, she could not resist and nor did anyone find out about the incident, so he felt emboldened and decided to hunt for more,” said the cop.

On Diwali day, he lured away a five-year-old girl with the promise of new clothes, raped her and dumped her.

“He was further emboldened and thought he could keep hunting for such girls,” said a cop.

The police officer said there was garba organized in a village near his on the night of New Year’s, November 6.

“He saw some young girls doing garba and then went looking for his next target. He roamed about in a few villages but people were awake due to the festival. He only found a sleeping tribal family of about eight near Santej Crossroads. Thakor saw the three-year-old girl sleeping next to her five-year-old brother and picked her up,” said the police officer.

He took the girl to a secluded place but as she woke up, he pressed her mouth and nose for around a minute after which she stopped moving. “The girl may have died by itself. Thakor then raped her, or more likely her body,” said a police officer.

When he was caught, he told the cops that after raping the body, he duped her in the culvert where she was found on Sunday.
