A tragic incident unfolded in the village of Lakhanpur, where a 16-year-old girl allegedly hanged herself two days after her family accused a local youth of molestation, police reported. The case has led to the suspension of two officers for negligence.

Superintendent of Police Vikrant Vir confirmed that Head Constable Munib Yadav and Constable Vikas Kumar Yadav, stationed at Sikandarpur Police Station, were suspended due to 'gross negligence of duty, indifference, inaction, and indiscipline.'
