Kolkata, July 30: A 14-year-old girl and a minor boy were arrested on Monday for allegedly killing the girl's mother in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district on Monday, July 29. The boy, a friend of the girl, was involved in the crime. The incident came to light after the girl's father lodged a complaint, claiming that his daughter, along with her friend, had killed his wife on June 6.

According to the India Today report, the father delayed filing the complaint for over a month due to threats from the minors. According to the father, his daughter had been in a relationship with the boy, whom she met on social media, for over a year and a half. The victim often scolded her daughter and disapproved of the relationship, which allegedly led the minors to plan the murder. West Bengal: Man Kills Live-in Partner for Insisting Him for Marriage, Held.
