Gunner of a circle officer was on Sunday arrested by the CB-CID team probing the death of a minor girl, who was found hanging inside Nighasan police station in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur district.
"Gunner of Circle officer Atiq Ahamad has been arrested by the CB-CID for his involvement killing a 14-year-old girl, who was hanging on Jun 10 in Lakhimpur Kheri," cabinet secretary Shashank Shekhar Singh told reporters in Lucknow.
