On April 21 morning, the dead body of a 17-year-old Dalit girl was discovered floating in a canal in the Kaliagunj area in Uttar Dinajpur district of West Bengal.
A 15-year old girl has alleged that five men from her village gang-raped her on March 3. A complaint has been registered and efforts are on to nab the accused.
This is a day after a 16-year-old pregnant minor girl lost her life while she was on the way to a hospital in Assam's Bongaigaon district. The family members of the girl had tried to execute her delivery at home to cover up the crime of child marriage.
