Rampur: The incident of a high-school girl died in a suspicious manner in her house in Rampur on January 16, has taken a turn now. The guardians of the deceased have requested the administration to proceed with an investigation on the case since they have a doubt that the girl did not commit suicide but she was murdered.

About the incident:

• A high-school student, Afsha Khursheed, resident of Gher Toga, Rampur was found dead hanging from the ceiling of her house on January 16.
• She was alone in the house as her mother went to a relative's place and her sister was at workplace.
• Afsha used to live in a rented-house with her mother and elder sister who is engaged in a private job.
• The other portion of the house is occupied by the land lady and her son, Risalat.
• Afsha's mother, Razia tried to call her while she was alone in the house but she did not respond to her calls.
• Razia was informed about Afsha's suicide by her neighbours.
• Later, police reached there and started investigating.
• Locals and housemates believe that Afsha was smothered and killed but police closed the case.
• After 15 days, Afsha's family alleged that she never had a reason to commit suicide and they requested the administration to do justice.
• Therefore, the DM has now ordered to dig Afsha's body out from her grave and proceed with an investigation.
