Chaibasa (Jharkhand), Dec 18: A 14-year-old girl, who was found lying unconscious near an Anganwadi centre after allegedly being raped by a man in Jharkhand’s West Singhbhum district, died on Wednesday at a hospital in Odisha, police said.

Family members of the girl lodged a complaint with the Jagannathpur Police Station, alleging that the minor was raped, a senior officer said.

She was taken to a community health centre and later admitted to a sub-divisional hospital in bordering Odisha where she breathed her last while undergoing treatment,” Jagannathpur Police Station in-charge Shivnarayan Tiwari.

A post-mortem examination of her body would be conducted during the day to ascertain the exact cause of death, he said.
