A group of seven men allegedly killed a 17-year-old girl at Sanpura village of Muzaffarpur district in Bihar. Four of the seven accused have been arrested. The accused wanted her to stop attending school.
The matter came to light on Sunday evening when Asha’s brother Baban Rai lodged an FIR at Motipur police station against the accused for killing her on Friday night, and holding him and his wife hostage for several hours in their own house.
A co-villager, who wishes to remain anonymous, said the community members were against any girl pursuing studies beyond the matriculation level and the murder was a fallout of her defiance. “The girl and the accused are from the same caste. And the accused opposed the girl for continuing education at intermediate level,” he said.
Rai, who was not in the village at the time of the incident, said, “One Rajan Kumar called me up and told me that Asha had committed suicide. As soon as I reached my house, I saw her body lying in the room. Seven villagers forced me to perform her last rites at gunpoint.”
DSP (west) KM Prasad said, “A named FIR against seven people has been registered in this connection. Four of the seven accused have been arrested and are being interrogated.”
“Rai has alleged that the accused had been threatening his family of dire consequences if they continued sending Asha to school. Her coaching teacher was also told to strike off her name,” Prasad added.
