In a disturbing case from Bokaro district, a minor girl employed in the household of Traffic Station In-charge Nutan Modi tragically died by suicide, allegedly by hanging. The girl had been sent to live with her aunt, Nutan Modi, under an agreement made on October 8, 2020, at Satgaon police station in Koderma, with the stated purpose of continuing her education. However, instead of attending school, she was reportedly made to perform household chores. On November 10, 2023, Nutan Modi informed the girl’s brother about the incident and admitted her to Medanta Hospital in Ranchi without notifying the police, raising serious concerns about her conduct. In response, Baijnath Kumar, Secretary of the Child Rights Foundation, wrote to the Director General of Police (DGP) requesting a CID investigation, citing possible violations of the Juvenile Justice Act, including illegal child labour and failure to report the incident to authorities as mandated by law.
