Imphal, May 12 2012:
A 19 year old girl took her own life in Thoubal district.
A Class X candidate from Sekmai Khumbi HS, Yumnam Sandhya (19) daughter of Y Shelung of Nongpok Sekmai Sikhong Bazar under Yairipok PS in Thoubal district committed suicide by hanging herself at their veranda today around 1.30 pm.
The body was handed over to the family without conducting post mortem as the victim's father contended it was a case of suicide.
Meanwhile, following a shot fired at her, but which fortunately missed her, a 15 year-old girl has been hospitalised at a hospital in Imphal under severe signs of mental trauma.
According to family source, the incident occurred at around 7 pm yesterday when the girl identified as Sakina of Keirao Bitra Mayai Leikai under Irilbung PS in Imphal East went to wash her face at a tank near her residence.
Unidentified gunman shot a bullet at her though it missed the target as the girl bent just at the moment.
However, due to the mental disturbance caused by the incident on the girl, she has been admitted to a hospital in Imphal, family said.
The source also recalled that some persons had abducted her on July 15 last year.
She was set free the next day after being subjected to severe assault.
Family suspected the involvement of a member of the gang in the shooting incident yesterday.
