A 13-year-old gangrape victim allegedly committed suicide after she was not allowed to file a police complaint allegedly by the local panchayat, who reportedly let off the rapists with a mere warning.

The girl allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself with a dupatta in her house in the Garhmukteshwar town under Panchsheel Nagar district, 70 km from here, on Saturday evening, the police said.

The victim was allegedly gangraped by three youths on Wednesday when she had gone to attend a wedding, they said. When she complained to her parents, they took the matter to the panchayat, officials said, adding the panchayat allegedly did not allow her to file a police complaint and let off the accused with a mere warning.

Locals protested against the police and the panchayat after her suicide for allegedly protecting the accused and demanded immediate action against them.

Investigation in the matter is on, police said.
