A 13-year-old girl died by suicide a day after she was allegedly gang-raped at a sugarcane field, police said on Wednesday.
According to an FIR lodged by victim's father, the incident occurred at the village in the Bhojipura area here on Monday.
He told the police that his daughter had gone to the field to dry clothes when two men -- Ankit and Pankaj -- allegedly caught her, dragged her to a sugarcane field and gang-raped her.
