Girl, 17, Killed By Parents For Refusing To Break Her Fixed Deposit

In a tragic incident, a 17-year-old girl was allegedly killed by her parents because she refused to break her FD and give the money to them. Her body was found hanging in her room on January 13. As per reports, the girl, identified as Khushi Kumari lived in Jharkhand's Ramgarh district. She had around six lakh rupees in her fixed deposit account which was about to mature. But her parents asked for the money from her. And the girl refused. 

When Khsushi's body was found hanging in her room, her brother filed an FIR against the parents. He alleged that his father and stepmother killed his sister and hanged her body because she denied giving them the money. In fact, the villagers demonstrated outside the police station to speed up the arrest of the couple. 

Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Birendra Kumar Chaudhary said police arrested Sunil Mahto and his wife Punam Devi for the suspicious conditions in which the death happened.
