KARNAL: A 16-year-old girl immolated herself after she was allegedly gang-raped in Haryana's Jind on Saturday, the fifth such case reported since Tuesday and the 12th in less than a month from the state.
Police said that according to the family's statement, the girl was dragged inside a neighbour's house in Saccha Khera village by a youth, Pradeep Kumar, while she was crossing the street.
The complaint stated that while he raped her, Kumar's sister-in-law, Meena, stood guard at the terrace to keep an eye outside the house. Later, Pradeep called two of his friends — Naveen and Sanjeev — who also raped her.
DSP Narwana Rameshwar Singh said the girl escaped and went to her uncle's home. "She poured kerosene and set herself on fire," said Singh.
She was admitted to Rohtak's PGIMS with 90% burns. Medical officer Pradeep Singh said the girl died during treatment. Police have arrested two of the accused — Meena and Sanjeev — while the other two are still absconding. Jind SSP Saurabh Singh said a manhunt has been initiated to nab them.
