Decomposed body of a five- year-old girl was found on Sunday from a tribal hamlet in the Teliamura sub-division of Tripura's Khowai district, police said.
It is suspected that the girl was murdered after rape, they said.
''The body was recovered from a jungle in the area. We are waiting for the post-mortem report,'' officer-in-charge of Teliamura police station Swapan Debbarma told reporters.
A 25-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident and further investigation is underway, he said.
The parents of the child filed a missing diary four days ago that she was missing since Monday, police said.
A case has been registered under POCSO Act and IPC sections 302 (murder) and 376 (rape), they said.
