Uttar Pradesh police has arrested three people after a girl fell off her cycle and died after being hit by a bike when the miscreants pulled her stole (duppatta). The incident took place in Ambedkar Nagar when the girl was returning home from school along with her friend, the police said. A CCTV footage shows the chilling incident where the bike-borne men could be seen pulling the stole after which the girl loses her balance and falls off.
At the same moment, a bike coming from right behind fatally hits her. Locals brought the girl to a hospital where doctors declared her dead.
Meanwhile, police said that a clash broke out between police and the accused after they tried to snatch a police rifle and escape while the police were taking them for a medical check-up. Police shot two of them in the foot and are undergoing treatment at Baskhari Community Health Center. Additional Superintendent of Police Sanjay Rai said that the girl fell off the bicycle and got hit by a bike coming from behind.
"We received a complaint yesterday evening that some men misbehaved with one of two girls who were returning from school. The girl fell off the bicycle and got hit by a bike coming from behind... The family has filed a complaint and the accused have been arrested. Further investigation is underway," Rai said.
However, police said, that a clash later broke out between police and the accused as "they tried to snatch a police rifle and escape while the police were taking them for a medical check-up. Out of the three arrested, two of them were shot in the foot."
"They are undergoing treatment at Baskhari Community Health Center amid heavy security," Ambedkar Nagar police said.
