On August 26, the girl's father himself approached the police and told them his daughter's decomposed body was lying in the Libra forest and that he had identified her by clothes and slippers.
The failure by a 12-year-old girl to cook food on time enraged her parents so much that they killed her and dumped the body in a forest in Chhattisgarh's Surguja district, police said on Tuesday.
The couple, who filed a missing complaint of their daughter after committing the crime to mislead police, has been arrested, they said.
The accused admitted to have committed the crime in a fit of rage after the girl failed to cook food on time and give fodder to cattle at home, they said.
The murder took place in June this year, but the accused, identified as Vishwanath Ekka and his wife Dilsa Ekka, were arrested on Monday after their involvement in the offence surfaced, a police official here said.
