Kasaragod: A 16-year-old tribal girl, four-and-a-half months pregnant, died of excessive bleeding while her parents were forced to rush her from one hospital to another.
Kasaragod's Vellarikundu police, which registered an unnatural death case, said the Class XI student's pregnancy was linked to her 16-year-old classmate and distant relative from the same Mavilan Scheduled Tribe community. The two families knew of their affair, and their relationship often triggered arguments between them, Vellarikundu Station House Officer - Inspector Mukundan T K said.
