Sambhal: A 21-year-old man, accused of raping a minor deaf and mute girl, ended his life by consuming poison.
He had allegedly raped the girl on Saturday and was absconding after the police filed a case following a complaint by her father. Additional SP Shrish Chandra said, "The rape accused was hiding in Aligarh and returned with his brother on Sunday. He then went to his sister's house in a village in Rajpura area. He started vomiting and was admitted to a nearby hospital, where he died on Tuesday. We have sent the body for autopsy. It seems to be a case of poisoning."
