A 10-year-old girl was allegedly killed by her mentally unstable stepmother for not cooking food, police said today.
Deepshikha was killed by her 50-year-old stepmother Kamlesh in Nanglasheikh village of the district yesterday, they said.
According to police, Kamlesh had asked Deepshikha to prepare food in the morning, which the girl did not. This enraged Kamlesh who first broke some items in the house and later strangulated the girl with her dupatta.
