Patna: A 14-year-old girl in Jharkhand was burnt alive inside her home in Jharkhand on Friday, allegedly by men who had gangraped her on Thursday night. The incident took place in the Naxal-affected Chatra district of the state.
The girl's family says the four men, allegedly drunk, kidnapped her last night from her house when everyone was away at a wedding. The men allegedly took her to a deserted spot and raped her.
When the girl's father went to the village council head and other members of the panchayat, the accused men were ordered to do 100 sit-ups and pay a fine of Rs. 50,000.
Enraged, the men went to the girl's home, beat her parents and then set her on fire, the family said.
Police officers say the men escaped and teams are looking for them. The horrific incident emerges at a time there is public anger over child rapes this year, beginning with the kidnapping, rape, torture and murder of an eight-year-old girl in Kathua in J&K.
