Girl beheaded

SHAHDOL (MADHYA PRADESH): A 15-year-old class VIII student was beheaded in broad daylight by two youths in Padria village in this district, police said.

Kiran Patel was on her way to school on Tuesday with her friends, Sunil and Maya, to fill a form for a supplementary exam when Sandeep, 20, and Khullu Kewat committed the ghastly crime. Sandeep allegedly teased Kiran often and was annoyed as she spurned his advances. The accused are absconding. — UNI
