The victim's father had lodged a case of murder against a youth of the same village, police said.
However, when police started the investigation, the role of the girl's uncle was found suspicious, Prakash Singh said, adding that the uncle confessed to the crime during questioning.
The minor's uncle told police that at the time of the incident, he was drunk and finding the girl alone, he tried to rape her. When the girl started screaming, he strangled her, the additional SP said.
Prakash Singh said that the accused has been arrested and sent to jail by a local court.
