Rajasthan: Psychological counselling for teen who beheaded her niece in Dungarpur

JAIPUR: A day after a 16-year-old girl beheaded her 7-year-old niece with a sword as part of an ‘occult’ ceremony in Dungarpur, police said it will facilitate psychological counselling for the minor girl currently under detention.

Udaipur Range IG Prafulla Kumar said police will ensure psychological counselling and treatment of the minor. Police also suspect that the girl was possibly suffering from some ailments but did not get proper medical attention as the family may have relied on bhopas (quacks) that abound in the Vagad region of southern Rajasthan.
