A 14-year-old girl allegedly hacked her elder brother to death after he scolded her for talking to boys on mobile phone in Chhattisgarh's Khairagarh-Chhuikhadan-Gandai (KCG) district, police said on Saturday.
The teenager has been detained for the offence that took place at Amlidihkala village under Chhuikhadan police station limits on Friday, an official statement said.
The girl allegedly told police that she and her brother (18) were at home while other family members had gone out on work at the time of the incident.
