A 15-year-old girl, who had gone to answer nature's call, was gang-raped in Jharkhand's Chatra district and later burnt to death, police said on Friday.
According to the police, when the teenager of Humajang village of the district had gone to answer nature's call on Thursday night, three youths of the same village caught hold of her, took her away at an isolated place and raped her.

Bajrang Dal workers on Friday blocked the highway demanding arrest of the third accused and death penalty for all the three. - IANS
