Indian girl, 14, shot dead for resisting sexual advance

AFP, India: Indian police said Tuesday said they have arrested two men for shooting dead a 14-year-old girl who resisted their advances, in the latest case of sexual violence.
The two men, riding on motorbikes, had been sexually harassing the girl and her elder sister verbally as they walked home from work as domestic servants in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh late on Monday, police said.
"The girls asked the men to stop harassing them but they refused, which led to one of them to shoot the girl," Rahul Mithas, a senior police officer in Sitapur district where the incident occurred, told AFP.
The men fled but were arrested after the elder sister gave officers a description of them, he said.
