Saharsa (Bihar): At least three minor girls allegedly attempted suicide in Bihar’s Saharsa, the police said on Monday. The incident took place under the Patarghat Police Station area, they said. The girls are undergoing treatment at the Sadar Hospital, the police said. According to the doctor, the condition of the girls remains critical.
According to the police, the three minors went to the field and attempted the extreme step on Sunday afternoon. The family members and locals rushed them to the local Primary Health Centre (PHC) and were later referred to the Sadar Hospital.
“The three girls attempted the extreme step as a fake social media ID was created by adding RDX to the name of the girls and a Bhojpuri adult song was posted, along with the photo. Distressed by this, the girls attempted to die by suicide. An action will be taken accordingly. Currently, the suspected accused are in Punjab,” Sub-Divisional Police Officer Alok Kumar said.
The parents of one of the victims levelled serious allegations against the resident of the village. The girl alleged that three persons in the village together uploaded her photo with an obscene song on social media and she took the drastic step due to fear of family members.
