Jagatsinghpur: A minor girl allegedly committed suicide in Haveli village of Jagatsinghpur district’s Palli panchayat on Sunday in fear of police atrocity.
Reportedly, some villagers had fled the village following violence during the panchayat polls.
The deceased girl was with her two younger sisters when some persons knocked at their house last night claiming to be police.
When the sisters did not open the doors, the persons outside left the place with a threat to return back in the morning and arrest them.
Subsequently, the sisters went to sleep but later in the morning, the two young girls found their elder sister has hanged herself from the ceiling fan.
Following the incident, family members and villagers staged a road blockade with the dead body demanding action against the police officers.
