The crime was committed yesterday in Purnagiri locality under city Kotwali police station here. The body of the victim was recovered today.
The girl, a class 6 student, had gone for tution after her school, but did not return home prompting her family members to go to Kohena police station.
But, as their complaint was not registered, they began a search on their own and found her bag and slippers near a pond.
Later, when police arrived, her body was found in a sack submerged in the water.
Rohit later admitted that he had rape and strangulated the girl to death, Yadav said.
The body has been sent for postmortem.
SP Sitapur Soumitra Yadav suspended 3 policemen -- Kohena police station incharge Alok Dhiman, night officer Kotwali Tanvendra Singh and constable Darshan - for their casual approach.
