For standing her ground and refusing to fall for the sexual advances of her admirer, a young girl has met her untimely end.
The young girl
The Police in Indian on Tuesday revealed that they have arrested two men for shooting dead a 14-year-old girl who resisted their advances, in the latest case of sexual violence.
The two men, riding on motorbikes, had been sexually harassing the girl and her elder sister verbally as they walked home from work as domestic servants in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh late on Monday.
AFP reports that Rahul Mithas, a senior police officer in Sitapur district where the incident occurred revealed that: “The girls asked the men to stop harassing them but they refused, which led to one of them shooting the girl.”
The men fled but were arrested after the elder sister gave officers a description of them, he said.
According to local media, the sisters had complained to police about being regularly stalked by the men in the lead-up to Monday’s shooting, but did not receive help.
Women’s rights activists have accused the police of often overlooking complaints of stalking, which they say only emboldens the perpetrators.
