Minor Kidnapped And Murdered In West Bengal, BJP Claims She Was Raped

A girl who had left home to attend a coaching class has been allegedly kidnapped and murdered in West Bengal's South 24 Parganas district, sparking anger and protests. A police camp has also been vandalised and set on fire.

While a post-mortem report is awaited, the BJP has claimed it was a case of rape and murder and hit out at the Trinamool Congress-led government in the state. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the West Bengal government are already under fire over their alleged mishandling of the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in August.
