14-Yr-Old Girl Raped by Father, Commits Suicide in Maharashtra

Mumbai: A minor girl of 14 years of age allegedly committed suicide accusing her father of sexual abuse in the Palghar district of Maharashtra.

A 14-year-old victim allegedly hanged herself to death at her house in Vasai Taluka of Maharashtra’s Palghar district. Police recovered a “suicide note” near her body in which she accused her father of sexually abusing her.

The girl died three days back at her family residence in Valiv and the note was found on Thursday, reported NDTV. The minor’s body was sent to a government hospital for post-mortem. “In the suicide note purportedly written by the girl, she alleged that her father sexually abused her. It also said that although she raised the issue with her mother, the latter failed to take any action on it,” NDTV quoted investigating police officials.

In her suicide note, the girl sought strict punishment for her father. A probe into the case is on.
