Indian girl 'humiliated' by village elders found dead

Indian girl found dead

The semi-naked body of a teenage girl who was allegedly humiliated by village elders for protesting against her father's harassment has been found near a railway track in eastern India. Police suspect the 15-year-old girl in West Bengal was raped and murdered. Her family said she was made to spit on the ground and lick it up - an act considered a grave form of humiliation. Unofficial courts in India's villages often sanction punishment of residents deemed to have violated local codes.
