A 20-year-old man was beaten to death allegedly by a girl's family members, who had spotted her sitting with him on a motorcycle in a village in Haryana's Rohtak district, police said on Friday. The 15-year-old girl was seen by her family sitting on a bike with the man in the village on Wednesday, they said.
