Gurgaon, Oct 2 (IANS): A 23-year-old man who failed to rape a minor girl, was Wednesday arrested for killing her, police said.

The victim's brother, Asgar Ali, also from Assam, said in his complaint filed at Farukh Nagar police station that they were living in the Farukh Nagar area for the past 10 years.
Husain had borrowed Rs.30,000 from Ali's father but refused to repay the same.
