A 17-year-old girl is battling for life after losing her legs and a hand when two men hurled her before a train here when she tried to stop them from sexually harassing her, her family alleged on Wednesday. One person has been arrested in this connection, the district magistrate said. Four policemen have also been suspended for negligence.

The father of the intermediate student alleged that a youth and his companion used to harass his daughter when she went for tuitions in the evenings. The girl’s parents had also complained to the family of the accused. On Tuesday, the girl was found in a bloodied state with her legs and one hand amputated near the Khadau railway crossing in Uttar Pradesh. She was admitted to a private hospital where she was operated on.
