Tragedy in Puri: Controversy Surrounds Teen's Mysterious Death

A tragic incident in Odisha's Puri district has sparked political controversy following the death of a 15-year-old girl due to severe burns at AIIMS Delhi. On Sunday, opposition parties criticized the police's conclusion that no other person was involved in setting the teenager on fire.

The girl's father stated that she was under mental pressure and took her own life, yet did not provide further details. The victim, who had initially alleged abduction and assault, endured surgeries before succumbing to her injuries. This has prompted opposition parties to lambast the government's investigation.

Despite police affirmations of a comprehensive investigation, opposition leaders like Pramila Mallik and Meenakshi Bahinipati have questioned the findings and demanded further action. Meanwhile, accusations of political opportunism have flown between parties, deepening the controversy surrounding this tragic event.
