A 14-year-old rape survivor allegedly hanged herself at a government-aided shelter home in Jashpur district of Chhattisgarh, police said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The girl was found dead in the washroom of the institution on Tuesday morning, said an official.<\/p>\n

On March 15, the girl, resident of a village under Asta police station limits, lodged a complaint at the Kotwali police station here claiming that a teenage boy living in the same village had raped her last year, he said.<\/p>\n

Her mother is no more and her father is mentally unsound, she stated in the complaint.<\/p>\n

Police registered a First Information Report and took into custody the accused teenager who was sent to a juvenile home, the official said.<\/p>\n

The girl was shifted to the shelter home here for counselling and for recording her statement further, he said.<\/p>\n

A case of unnatural death was registered and further probe into the alleged suicide was underway, the police official said.<\/p>\n
