Two sisters, 13 and 18-years-old killed themselves in Madhya Pradesh on Wednesday evening.

Deepanjali and Pushpanjali desperately tried to get justice, fight police harassment but finally they gave up.

Their nightmare began after two police constables, Kanhaiyalal and Arvind Patel, allegedly caught one of them with her boyfriend in a neighbourhood park.

The cops snatched the boyfriend's mobile phone and forced him to leave the place.

They then allegedly molested the girls and took objectionable photographs of one of them.

The girls say they complained against the two men, following which the constables were suspended, but then the two constables started to go to the girl's home and harassing them.

"They started to hit us and misbehave with the two of them. We requested them to let us go but they demanded Rs 10,000 from us," said Himanshu, victims' friend.

An inquiry has been ordered.

"We don't have any information in this matter yet. We are still investigating," said Animesh Mangalam, IG Chhatarpur.

Dipanjali died in Chhatarpur on Wednesday, while her sibling succumbed on Thursday at a hospital in Jhansi.
