A nine-year-old girl was murdered in Joynagar in South 24 Parganas district of West bengal on friday, october 4. Her body was found late on friday night. The police have arrested the accused 18-year-old youth. The villagers allege that the police initially refused to register a missing person report. A mob of 200 people vandalized and set fire to the Mahishamari police station. When the police reached the village to recover the body in the early hours of Saturday, october 5, the angry villagers beat them up.

Questions raised on mamata government

West bengal BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari has targeted the mamata government over this incident. In a long post on Twitter, he said, "It seems that the West bengal police have not learnt anything from the unfortunate RG Kar incident when a 31-year-old PGT doctor was raped and murdered. The eight-year-old fourth grade student of Mahishamari area of Joynagar; South 24 Parganas district was going to tuition class and was missing since yesterday afternoon. The family members along with some neighbours went to the police camp to report the on-duty police personnel." He further wrote, "Instead of responding promptly, the said police personnel seemed reluctant and tried to evade their responsibility. Later the villagers themselves started looking for the missing child and recovered the body of the child from a pond in Mahishamari in the morning. Had the police been proactive, the child could have been rescued alive, but unfortunately the police was reluctant to perform their duty, for which the child had to pay the price with her life."

What is the whole matter?

people familiar with the matter said that the victim, a class 4 student, had gone to attend tuition class at around 2.30 pm on Friday. When she did not return home till late evening, her family members and villagers started looking for her. The victim's father told media persons, "She came to my shop in the local market around 5 pm while returning home from her tuition class but when I returned home at night, I was told that she did not reach home. We started looking for her. Later, her body was found about a kilometre away from our house."
