What FACTLY found

While it is true that a girl named ‘Jyoti Kumari’ was killed by Arjun Mishra of Patori village after she was caught stealing mangoes from his orchard, she is not the ‘Cycle girl’ Jyoti Kumari Paswan who cycled from Gurugram to Darbhanga. So, the death of another girl with the same name ‘Jyoti Kumari’ is being falsely linked to ‘Cycle girl’ Jyoti Kumari Paswan.
