Gaya, Bihar, May 14 (IBNS) A 16-year-old girl and a man who had eloped were beaten and burnt alive in Bihar's Gaya on Wednesday, allegedly on the orders of a village panchayat.

Reports said the girl and her alleged lover, a 36-year-old man, were allegedly killed after a public hearing attended by hundreds of people, including the girl's family.
