A miraculous incident happened at Hirapur village under Nabarangpur district’s Umarkote police limits late on Saturday night when a minor girl had a close shave even as she hanged herself and remained hung for more than ten hours.
Sources said the girl’s family and relatives were sleeping after attending a marriage ceremony when the girl tied her neck with her own dupatta and hanged self from the house roof. The family could know this only on Sunday morning. On being informed, a police team led by Inspector Ranjita Behera rushed to the house, rescued the seemingly dead girl and took her to the Umarkote CHC. Miraculously, she was diagnosed alive by doctors.
Stating that her condition is stable, Dr Sumanta Raul said it was a rare of the rarest incident where the girl escaped from death.
