Gannaur, Mar 6: A Class-12 student tragically ended her life by jumping in front of a Vande Bharat Express train in Gannaur on Wednesday, with her family alleging that she was sexually abused and harassed by three youths from her village.

According to the victim’s father, persistent harassment led his daughter to take the extreme step. Acting on his complaint, the Government Railway Police (GRP) have registered a case against the accused under relevant sections of the IPC and POCSO Act.

Authorities confirmed that the girl’s body was sent to Bhagat Phool Singh Medical College for Women in Khanpur Kalan, where a medical board will conduct a post-mortem examination.

GRP officials stated that one of the accused, identified as Tushar, has been arrested and will be produced before the court later in the day. The other two accused, Kamal and Manjeet, are currently under investigation.

Gannaur GRP in-charge Suresh Kumar mentioned that while the case was initially registered under the POCSO Act, the victim’s Aadhaar records indicate that she was 18 years old, which may impact the applicability of certain legal provisions.

The incident has sparked outrage in the local community, with demands for strict action against the culprits. Authorities have assured a thorough investigation into the matter.
