A six-year-old girl died while her mother and younger sister sustained severe injuries after they were allegedly beaten up in the Rohini area, police said on Thursday.

Injured woman Sheetal (24) along with her two daughters aged six and three lived in Prem Nagar locality of Rohini, they said.

To ascertain the sequence of events and identities of the accused, the statement of the mother is yet to be taken, police said.
