PATNA: A Class X student was allegedly gang-raped and killed in Saran district. The heinous crime was allegedly committed by five people from the same area late Wednesday evening. The victim was allegedly dragged by the accused to a bathroom, raped, and then thrown into a well, leading to her death. The irate villagers created a ruckus after getting information about the incident. The mob was pacified after assurances, and one person was taken into custody for questioning, police said on Thursday.

The mother of the deceased 16-year-old girl said she lives in the village with her two daughters. Her husband works outside the state.
