Ranchi. The body of a class 10 student was found hanging from a tree in Badtalla village of Dumka district of Jharkhand. This is the fourth such incident in the district during the last one-and-a-half months after two girl students were burnt alive by pouring petrol and a tribal girl was raped and her body was hanged from a tree. On Wednesday, the body of a 15-year-old minor tribal girl, who was found hanging from a tree in Badtalla village of Kathikund police station, has been identified as Anjali Soren of Amgachi village of the same police station area. She was a 10th class student in a high school in Shikaripada in the district.
It has been told that Anjali had come to her uncle’s house in Badtalla during Durga Puja’s leave and had left on Friday. Since then there was no trace of him. On Wednesday morning, the police reached outside the village after getting information about the dead body hanging from a tree. The body is completely decomposed and there is a lot of foul smell coming from it. From this it is being speculated that he died three-four days ago. According to Kathikund police station in-charge Shyamal Kumar Mandal, the family members had given information about the girl’s disappearance at the police station a day earlier on Tuesday evening.
The body was sent to Phoolo Jhano Medical College Hospital, Dumka for post-mortem. It will be revealed only after the post-mortem report and investigation whether the girl has committed suicide or someone has killed her.
Earlier, a 14-year-old girl was killed and her body was hanged on a tree in Shriamda village of Mufassil police station area of Dumka district. It was revealed in the investigation that she was murdered after the rape. In this case, the police also arrested the accused and sent him to jail.
Here Rajya Sabha MP and Jharkhand BJP President Deepak Prakash has said that the body of a tribal girl has been found hanging from a tree again in Dumka. Such incidents happening again and again show that the mothers and daughters of the state have become completely insecure under the ‘coupling’ government. (IANS)
