11-year-old girl's body recovered in Baruipur; four arrested, man lynched by mob
The girl's body was found stuffed in a sack in Surjyapur Haat area this morning, triggering a protest by locals who blocked the Baruipur-Joynagar Road, burnt tyres and damaged a few police vehicles, demanding the arrest of the accused persons, a senior officer said.
A man was beaten to death by angry locals on the accusation of his involvement in the girl's death, Inspector General of Police, Presidency Range, Kankarprasad Barui, said.
Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari spoke to the deceased girl's father over the phone and assured him that the culprits would be dealt with in the strictest manner and punished according to the law, sources said.
The police said four people were arrested in connection with the girl's death.
Urging the protesters to lift the road blockade, IGP Barui announced that everyone associated with the crime would be arrested and would receive maximum punishment following trial.
"Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari called me up and said action will be taken against all the culprits and they would be punished," the officer told the protesters while addressing them using a megaphone.
Barui said he would meet the deceased girl's parents on Tuesday, promising them all assistance.
Stating that police raids are underway to nab the culprits, the IGP said, "No one will be spared."
The body of the girl was thereafter allowed by the protesters to be sent for post-mortem examination. The blockade was lifted following the IGP's assurance.
The body has been sent to Baruipur Sub-Divisional Hospital for post-mortem examination, the police said, adding that the cause of the death and whether any sexual assault was committed on her would be known after the autopsy report.
A police officer said the girl had gone missing on Saturday afternoon after leaving home to buy a gift for her friend's birthday.
Family members of the girl alleged that four people had forcibly taken her away.
