A 21-year-old youth from Angul allegedly abducted a 13-year-old minor girl and later died by suicide after police questioned his parents.
The incident occurred in Motanga under Dhenkanal district.
The youth reportedly fell in love with the minor and fled with her to Mumbai a few days ago. After learning about the disappearance, the girl’s family alerted police. Officers from Angul Sadar station detained the youth’s parents and asked him to produce the girl at the police station.
Upon returning from Mumbai, the youth discovered that his parents had been taken for questioning. He appeared at the police station, where officers instructed him to bring the girl for formal presentation. Instead of complying, he went home and hanged himself with a rope.
Police reached the scene and began an investigation.
