The girl's mother Akila alleged Rubi died of starvation as the six-member family was going through financial crisis since her physically challenged husband Zia-ur-Rehman abandoned them a few days ago.
The Collector said Rubi's post-mortem did not reveal any specific cause of death and the viscera had been preserved. An immediate relief of Rs 5,000 had been given to the family.
No ration card
The district administration claims the poverty-stricken family has not yet sought any assistance, while her neighbours said the woman made several unsuccessful attempts at the municipal office to get the BPL ration card.
Municipal Council president Pyara Singh said it would be probed why Ms Akila's name was not included in the BPL list. -- UNI
