Karauli district SP Mamta Gupta confirmed gunshot injuries on her body,

Rajsamand MP Diya Kumari and Bharatpur MP Ranjita Koli reached the victim’s house on Friday and met her family members .

Kumari charged the administration with being negligent on the issue and demanded quick and strict action against the accused.

Notably, a 20-year-old Dalit girl’ body was fished out from a well in Karauli district on Thursday.

Police initially termed it a “suicide” and got the autopsy done.

Unhappy with the post-mortem report, they staged a protest too which was joined by Meena this morning.
