Patna, Nov 27 (NationPress) In a significant turn of events, family members and local residents organized a protest three days after a 15-year-old girl reportedly took her own life by jumping from a high-rise building. The relatives of the victim have raised allegations that she was sexually assaulted and subsequently thrown from the rooftop.

The tragic incident occurred on November 24, when the young girl fell from the roof of the Sulakshana Palace Apartments located on Nala Road in Patna.

Upon learning of the incident, the girl’s family gathered at the scene, creating a massive disturbance and demanding the arrest of those they believe are culpable.

During the protest, the agitated crowd set fire to the main road, leading to severe traffic disruptions. Frustrated with the police response, demonstrators chanted slogans against the authorities and insisted that Bihar’s Home Minister Samrat Chaudhary visit the site.

The protesters shouted, "Call Samrat Choudhary, can you not see the Jungle Raj now?"

Initially reported as an accidental fall, the family contends that the girl was a victim of foul play.

Relatives asserted that she was allegedly raped prior to being thrown from the building and are demanding immediate and appropriate action.

The deceased's brother stated: "We demand the arrest of the accused and justice for my sister. This matter must reach our Home Minister, Samrat Choudhary. My sister was allegedly raped before being pushed from the rooftop of the building."

As protests escalated, a large police presence was deployed.

Tensions flared when demonstrators clashed with police officers, resulting in DSP Rajesh Ranjan being manhandled.

With the situation spiraling out of control, police resorted to a mild lathi charge to disperse the crowd. As a precaution, Nala Road was closed along with nearby shops, and the atmosphere has remained tense since the incident.

Authorities have stated that they are investigating the matter thoroughly and assure that no perpetrator will escape justice. Some women were taken into custody for questioning, and traffic was restored after removing the burning barriers from the road.

An FSL team had earlier examined the location, and CCTV footage from the apartment and surrounding areas is currently under review.

Police mentioned that at the time of the incident, none of the apartment’s residents recognized the deceased girl.

While investigations continue, family members and local residents have taken to the streets again, insisting that this case be treated as suspicious and that justice must be served for the minor girl.
