The incident came to light on Friday morning when the teenager's body was discovered on the banks of a pond in Kaliyaganj town of the Uttar Dinajpur district.
The BJP today launched a massive attack on the Trinamool Congress-led government in Bengal over the rape and murder of a teenager, alleging that the police did not allow them to meet the victim's family. They've also claimed that the police were suppressing and diluting evidence and that the victim's body was dragged in such a manner which wasn't dignified. The police have countered by saying they had to recover the body from an extremely volatile law and order situation.
"The @BJP4Bengal MLAs weren't allowed to visit the victim's family & were involuntarily taken to a Police Station & made to sit there forcefully, because how else would @WBPolice suppress information & dilute evidence. They're dragging the victim's body in such undignified manner," Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the state assembly Suvendu Adhikari tweeted.
The incident came to light on Friday morning when the teenager's body was discovered on the banks of a pond in Kaliyaganj town of the Uttar Dinajpur district. Locals found the body of the minor, who had gone missing. The police reached the spot to recover the body and sent it for postmortem.
On Friday, locals staged a protest demanding justice for her. When the police reached the spot, they claim they had to brave violence and stone pelting by angry mobs to retrieve the body. The police fired tear gas shells to dissipate the situation.
