The girl reportedly survived the fall but ended up with a spinal cord fracture. The girl has since remained unconscious at the hospital, NDTV reported.
Shrish Chandra, the police chief of Mathura Rural, said that two of the suspects were arrested after the victim’s brother lodged a complaint. The victim’s elder brother Dinesh Singh told cops that the men had been molesting his sister for about a year, Zee News reported.
"We have registered an FIR and two men have been arrested. We are investigating the case and will take the strictest possible action," NDTV quoted Chandra, as saying.
"Last night, around 8 p.m., our father got a call from an unknown number. The caller asked who is speaking and sought to know the location. Our father said he was speaking from Chaatha and told the caller his name," Zee News quoted Dinesh, as saying.
"Soon, three men arrived on a motorcycle and barged into our house. They assaulted my family members, including my mother and sister. Two of them forcibly took my sister to the second floor and threw her from the balcony, breaking her spinal cord," said Dinesh.
"She is admitted to a private hospital and has got severe injuries in her spinal cord and other parts of the body. She is in a critical condition," the victim’s father, Prem Pal Singh, told reporters, according to Zee News.
