This took place just a few days after the alleged rape and death of a minor girl in Hanskhali area of Nadia district.
New Delhi: Another teenager was found hanging at her relative’s place in West Bengal’s Nadia district.
This took place just a few days after the alleged rape and death of a minor girl in Hanskhali area of Nadia district.
The girl’s father in his complaint said that the 15-year-old, who had gone to her relative’s house in Dhantala, was raped and murdered by him, said a police official.
He said that the teenager was found hanging at her relative’s house, adding four people have been arrested in connection with the incident.
He, however, did not clarify whether the accused was one of them.
The police official also said that the girl’s father is not satisfied with the post-mortem and has requested for re-examination.
However, he did not specify the reasons as to why the girl’s father was not satisfied with the report.
Meanwhile, the local court has accepted the application for second trial.
This comes to the fore as a tribal girl was gang-raped in Birbhum’s Shantiniketan area by at least five men while she was returning from a village fair with her boyfriend.
According to a police officer, the five men had beaten up the girl’s boyfriend and then took her near the river bank and in turn raped the girl.
These incidents are yet another setback for the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) amidst the hullabaloo caused due to the Hanskhali rape case, which is being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Earlier on Saturday, the CBI sleuths arrested one person from Ranaghat in Nadia district for his alleged involvement in the case of a minor girl's rape and subsequent death in Hanskhali area, PTI reported.
This is the CBI's first arrest in the case.
Two other accused in the case, one of them son of a local TMC leader in Nadia, were earlier apprehended by the state police.
