KANPUR: A teenage girl died allegedly after consuming abortion pill forcibly offered by a local under Bindki Kotwali police station in Fatehpur district . The accused, identified as Monu , a resident of Kotwali police area of the district, is absconding. He has been booked under various sections of Indian Penal Code following a complaint lodged by the deceased girl's parents.

A police official said that the girl was sexually exploited several times by Monu in the past. "When Monu learnt that the girl had become pregnant, he allegedly started forcing her to undergo an abortion. On Friday, Monu compelled her to consume a pill that would cause an abortion. Soon after consuming the pill, the girl's condition deteriorated and she collapsed. Monu abandoned her at the spot and fled.

She died in the hospital on Sunday night during treatment," said the police official. His body has been sent for potmortem.

Police said a case under sections 313 (forcible abortion) and 314 (causing death with abortion) has been registered against Monu, who is now absconding. "The police are conducting raids at his possible hideouts to arrest him," said Circle Officer Anurag.
