Bhadrak: A minor girl was allegedly murdered by her father and step-mother at Bhaunriabanki village under Tihidi police limits in Bhadrak district late on Wednesday.
The deceased has been identified as Parbati Barik, 17.
According to sources, Babaji Barik and his second wife Basanti Barik strangled the girl to death over a suspected family feud last night.
