In a tragic incident in Bihar’s Nalanda district, a minor girl took her own life by hanging herself at home following an alleged rape at gunpoint. The victim, a Class XII student and one of five sisters, could not cope with the trauma. The perpetrator, reportedly from an influential local family, threatened the girl’s family to prevent them from reporting the crime.
The accused, said to be the son of a former ward councillor, reportedly raped the girl at gunpoint and then warned her family not to involve the police. The incident is believed to have links to an ‘electoral feud,’ with the accused’s family allegedly holding a grudge against the victim’s family for not voting for them. The police have initiated a thorough investigation into the matter.
The victim’s family, devastated by the tragedy, found the girl hanging from a ceiling fan the next morning. They are demanding justice and stricter punishment for the accused and his family. Despite the allegations, the accused is reportedly moving freely in the village, evading police action. The authorities are examining all aspects of the case, including possible romantic involvement mentioned during the initial stages of the investigation.
