Chandigarh: A 16-year-old Dalit girl from Punjab's Sangrur district, who had set herself ablaze following alleged sexual harassment by youth from upper castes, died here on Tuesday.
The girl set herself ablaze on Saturday in Kala Banjara village in Sangrur district, 135 km from here, after she was allegedly constantly harassed by four youth from the Jat community.
She received 70 percent burns and was brought to the Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) here for treatment. To add to the agony of the girl's family, Punjab Police officials had allegedly refused to even register a case on Saturday. Family members alleged that police officials told them that they were busy with VIP duty since CM Parkash Singh Badal was to visit the district on Sunday. The case was finally registered on Monday after a judicial magistrate recorded the girl's statement at the PGIMER.
