"We went to get rice, but I was told that no ration will be given to me. My daughter died saying 'bhaat-bhaat' (rice)," news reports quoted the girl's mother, Koyli Devi, as saying.
The Simdega district administration though said Santoshi had died of malaria.
Since then, there have been news reports of at least one other starvation death in Jharkhand.
