HYD ERABAD: A 17-year-old girl died under suspicious circumstances in Wanaparthy district on Monday evening. Police registered a kidnap case and under sections of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
Wanaparthy police said the girl was brought to a local hospital by her friend before he fled from the area.
The hospital doctors, after examining the minor, declared that she was brought dead and alerted the police since they found that it was an unnatural death. Prima facie, police suspect that she might have died after consuming some poisonous substance.
Officials said the girl, who was employed in a farm, had gone to work. But, what transpired after she reported for work and whom she met later is still being probed by police. “As of now, none of her co-workers or the farm owner is available. At the same time, her male friend is also missing and a police team is trying to trace him. If there is any foul-play in the minor girl’s death will be known until we get the post-mortem report,” Wanaparthy police said. The victim hailed from Nagarkurnool district. Her parents lodged a complaint late in the night.
