HT, 19 Dec 2016, DARJEELING: The police have found the body of a student from a tea garden in Kurseong.
Akriti Tamang (16) had been missing since November 16. Police suspect she was murdered. Kids while playing on the banks of Ramitey Khola (rivulet) in the Karbia tea estate in Kurseong got suspicious with an unbearable stench filling the air. On closer inspection, they saw a decomposed limb sticking out from under a pile of rocks. The police was immediately informed.
Police then pulled out a highly decomposed body from under the rocks. Tamang’s father identified the body from a ring that she was wearing. Police suspect that Tamang was murdered and the way the body was hidden underneath a pile of huge rocks is a pointer that a group was involved in the act.
The situation was tense in Ambotia tea estate area with the recovery of the body. Local residents demanded a thorough probe and stringent punishment for all involved in the act.
The body was sent to North Bengal Medical College and Hospital near Siliguri on Sunday for post mortem.
