Mail News Service

Jamshedpur, Dec 6: Parsudih police recovered the body of a 16 year-old girl, identified as Priya Sahu, from a Railway quarter behind Tatanagar Railway Hospital. They took one Sonu Kalindi, reported to be the minor’s husband, in custody following a complaint against him lodged by the parents of the deceased.

DSP Law and Order Animesh Gupta and the SHO of Parsudih police station Ram Kumar Verma visited the quarter and began a probe into the death.

Priya’s family members said the deceased was a class 9 student of Sido Kanho Memorial School. Three months ago, she had gone out of her house and failed to return ever since. Few days ago, it became known that Priya had got married to Sonu Kalindi, the minor’s family members told cops.

Priya’s family stopped talking to the minor after her alleged marriage. This morning they received a phone call informing them about the minor’s death by suicide. When the girl’s family reached the scene, they found her body lying on the floor with injury marks on the body.

“Sonu is a Railway employee who used to live separately with Priya in a Railway quarter. The case looks suspicious. We will also probe the murder angle,” said the DSP.
