- India
A 16-year-old girl, sexually abused by a neighbour two months ago, was found hanging in her house at Konni in this district, police said on Thursday.
Her father, a rubber tapping worker, was at work and her paternal grand mother was only at home when she took the extreme step in the morning, they said.
A native of Kaithakkara, the girl was reportedly under mental stress and depression after the incident in July this year.
The 31-year-old neighbour was arrested under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act after the incident and has been lodged in jail, police added.
