Salepur: Mohammad Mustafa, the prime accused in Salepur minor rape case, allegedly attempted suicide inside Salepur Sub-Jail on Wednesday night.

Mustafa, who tried to end his life by hanging himself with a ‘gamcha’ in the latrine, was rescued by jail staff, an officer of Salepur police station said.

Investigation into the matter has begun after registering another case against the accused in connection with the fresh incident, the officer added.

The Odisha Crime Branch has already designated the minor rape incident as a ‘Red Flag’ case.

The state government has provided an ex-gratia of Rs 5 lakh to the family of the victim, who succumbed to her injuries while undergoing treatment at SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack on April 29.

On April 21, the girl was rescued from a school veranda and rushed to a hospital in Salepur. There were injuries on her head, face, chest and private parts and scratches on the neck.

She was later referred to the SCB after her condition deteriorated.
