Ranchi, March 5 : A father and daughter were killed in Jharkhand's West Singhbhum district as the girl allegedly stole an egg from a neighbour's house, media reports said Friday.
Mugai Sirka and his seven-year-old daughter Neetu were killed Wednesday at Pertoll village in West Singhbhunm district, around 230 km from here.
According to reports, Neetu had allegedly stolen an egg from her neighbour, after which at least seven villagers surrounded Mugai's house and started throwing stones. When Mugai asked for an explanation, the villagers started bashing him. Both father and daughter were first beaten and later strangled.
Their heads were crushed with heavy stones and their bodies were hidden in a nearby jungle, reports said.
Mugai's wife Sumitra Thursday informed the police about the incident and lodged a complaint against five villagers. The accused are absconding. Police have sent the bodies for post mortem examination

Many parts of our country are semi civilized and savage. Fighting on petty matters resulting in killing often happens. The incident reported is from Jharkhand. The persons involved must be tribal. They are less tolerant and readily take law in their own hands. It will take much time to properly educate them to abide by law and restrain themselves.
Taking law into hands is a wrong thing first and that too for a simple reason like stealing an egg...it's like ridiculous...Where is this country going???
Leaving all smugglers, rapists, drug dealers, rowdies, goondas and all those who create caste fights we kill two small innocent people and that too a small child...
This is INDIA???
