Everyone is very sad about what happened.
The man who was hurt had tried to do something very bad to the young woman, and she was trying to protect herself.
The police are trying to understand what really happened and will tell the court about it.
An 18-year-old girl allegedly killed her 45-year-old neighbor in self-defense after he attempted to sexually assault her in Murwal village, Banda district, Uttar Pradesh.
The incident occurred when the man, in an inebriated state, entered the girl's house and tried to assault her while she was alone.
The girl attacked him with an axe and a stick, leading to his death, and later surrendered to the police.
