Police on Sunday arrested two women for allegedly killing a minor girl in Antop Hill area of the city last week. They said that another suspect, a 17-year-old girl, has been detained in connection with the incident. All accused are the relatives of the victim, said the Police.


They allegedly strangulated the minor girl in a fit of rage following an argument over some issue on May 4, a police official said.
