Kin say she was poisoned by accused; police say they have recovered note
A teenage girl was allegedly gang-raped and poisoned in a Meerut village on Thursday on her way to a tuition class. The family members took her to a private hospital where she died during treatment.
The Meerut police arrested two of the four accused Lakhan and Vikas after an FIR was lodged by the girl’s paternal uncle under relevant sections of the IPC and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012.
On Saturday morning, when the police were taking the accused to a Meerut court, Mr. Lakhan snatched the revolver of a head constable and fired at the police team. In retaliation, Station House Officer Sardhana fired back at Mr. Lakhan and he was nabbed again.
