The girl has been identified as Neha Paswan (17), daughter of Amarnath Paswan of Sevrahi Kharg in the Mahuadih police station.
The younger brother of the girl, Vivek, told reporters that on Monday evening his uncle Arvind started beating her sister over washing of his clothes and she was seriously injured.
