Bengal: POCSO court sentences 3 people to death for rape, murder of minor
PTI, JALPAIGURI (WB), JULY 10, 2025 : A special POCSO court in Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal on Thursday sentenced three people, convicted in a rape and murder case of a minor that took place about five years ago, to death by hanging.
The convicts, Rahaman Ali, Jamirul and Tamirul, were accused of abducting the victim and repeatedly raping her over days before strangulating her to death near the banks of Charai river and dumping her body in an under-construction septic tank in the neighbourhood to destroy evidence.
The sentence was passed after Judge Rintu Sur convicted the three accused as guilty on Wednesday, following the examination of 27 witnesses in the court.
The crime came to light in the Rajgunj police station area in the north Bengal district of Jalpaiguri in August, 2020 after the family of the 16-year-old girl, a class 10 student at a local madrasa, lodged a missing person complaint.
