Bengal chief minister Suvendu Adhikarihas vowed the harshest of punishment for the accused. Speaking in Kolkata on Monday, Adhikari said, “I have spoken to the parents of the victim and the government is doing everything that the family has asked for. They will get justice and the criminals will get capital punishment. I am happy that the family has reposed its trust in the government.”
What happened on Saturday
The girl went missing on Saturday after she left her home to buy a birthday gift for a friend. The family members lodged a missing complaint with the police after they failed to locate her. The next day (Sunday) her body was recovered from the pond.
The incident sparked widespread public outrage, local unrest, and mob violence. A 40-year-old man was lynched to death, suspecting him to be an associate of the primary accused.
“She went to visit a friend in the evening but never returned home. Later, on Sunday morning, her mutilated body was recovered from a pond. Following the development, her family members and the locals alleged she was raped and murdered by some influential people in the area. However, the fact is yet to be ascertained," said an officer from the Baruipur Police Station.
The family member, along with the locals, staged a protest with the girl's body on the street, with burnt tyres and blocked the traffic for more than three hours. They also blocked a nearby train line on the Sealdah-Namkhana route for an hour.
