Kolkata: A four-year-old girl who was sleeping beside her grandmother at a railway shed was allegedly kidnapped and raped at Tarakeshwar in West Bengal’s Hooghly district on Saturday.
According to the police, the minor was found lying unconscious with injury marks near a drain in the area on Saturday afternoon. He added that an investigation is underway.
The girl, who reportedly belongs to the Banjara community, was initially taken to a local hospital and later referred to the Chandannagar sub-divisional hospital, reported PTI, quoting a police official.
Meanwhile, Leader of Opposition in the assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, alleged that the Tarakeshwar Police were initially reluctant to register an FIR over the incident.
In a post on X, Adhikari accused the police of "burying the crime" to shield the state's "fake law and order image by suppressing the truth”.
"Mamata Banerjee, you are a Failed Chief Minister. Under your rule, West Bengal’s law & order has hit ROCK BOTTOM," he alleged in the post.
