According to a Pradesh18 report, the deceased's son Manoj has alleged that the Khurja police gave him Rs 1 lakh with the help of the Gram Pradhan.
The Khurja police allegedly paid the amount after a man - accused by a man named Omprakash of sexually assaulting his daughter - died in custody.
The police also went on to register a complaint against the girl's father, accusing him of provoking the victim to commit suicide.
