Horrifying! Girl killed for going to school

In a shocking incident, a 17-year-old girl was killed for attending school in Sanpura village of Muzaffarpur district in Bihar.

A group of 7 men allegedly killed the minor girl on Friday and kept her family locked inside their own house as they protested against them. The villagers told that the community from which the girl comes doesn't prefer their women studying past matriculation. The girl's act to pursue school enraged the community leading to this act.

Speaking to ANI, SSP Manoj Kumar, Muzzafarpur said, "A girl has died under suspicious circumstances. The victim's family along with their neighbours has already cremated the body. The FIR filed mentions some serious accusations based on which he had arrested three people. The pieces of evidence were tampered with and so we have taken action based on the FIR but the story narrated in the FIR makes it worthy of a serious investigation."

While the government is keen on promoting "Save girl child, educate girl child" scheme, this girl wasn't saved because she wanted to get educated.
