CHAKKA JAM: After the body of a minor girl who had committed suicide being distressed by harassment was taken home on Monday evening after post-mortem, family members and villagers became enraged and resorted to chakka jam by placing the body at Sehra intersection. They accused the police of not filing a case of kidnapping and gang-rape that resulted in her death. The family refused to perform the last rites, demanding arms licence, security and arrest of the accused. A 16-year-old girl from a village in Kaundhiyara had committed suicide by hanging herself at home on Sunday morning. Her parents had alleged that four youths of the area had raped her in Bareilly after abducting her on July 11. She was brought here from Bareilly on July 17 along with the police. The police then allegedly did not file a case against the accused. The goons started harassing the girl and she committed suicide on Sunday.
After this the police changed the written complaint of kidnapping and rape and wrote a case of suicide because of harassment. Angry with the police villagers took the body to the village and kept it at the Sehra intersection late on Monday evening after the post-mortem. Due to this the traffic on Karchhana-Jari road was disrupted. When some policemen reached, a demand was made to call the SDM. The relatives said that they will not perform the last rites of the body without the protection of the family, arms license, arrest of accused and increasing the section of gang-rape in the case. The policemen of Kaundhiyara police station convinced the family members by assuring them to fulfil all demands, including the arrest of the accused, at the earliest.
