September 18 with the Siliguri police, claiming that her
senior Aninda Garai took her to a private boarding, where he
stayed, for helping her with some drawings.
According to the FIR, she was given a soft drink laced
with drugs by Aninda, who later shot an obscene video of the
girl.
He, later started forcing her to marry him, saying he
would make the clip public if she refused.

month," the girl's father Nilu Saha alleged after she
committed suicide on Wednesday.

been sent to his village at Maheshpur under Sonamukhi police
station in Bankura district.
