The incident took place when no one was at home, police said, adding that while the girl’s mother, who works as an ANM (auxiliary nurse and midwife) was on duty, the girl’s 14-year-old brother and grandfather had gone outside for some errands.
As per the complaint lodged by the girl’s grandfather, when he and his grandson reached home from the market, they were stopped by her from going upstairs. “The grandson, however, freed himself and reached upstairs and saw his father lying in a pool of blood in a room. He called out to his grandfather, who quickly reached the room. The grandfather then saw the girl and her male classmate trying to choke his son to death. Both the accused then fled the spot,” said a police officer.
According to the complainant, the accused girl and the boy study in the same class.
