People said: The police showed an attitude similar to that in the Kolkata rape and murder case. A local resident claimed that the family had lodged an FIR at the Mahismari outpost after the girl went missing on October 4. However, the police did not take this complaint seriously and took no action. The attitude of the police was the same as that of the Calcutta police after the rape and murder of a junior doctor at RG Kar Hospital and the discovery of the body.
The people said, “We will protest until all those accused of raping and murdering our daughter are punished.” Action should also be taken against police officers who were slow to act. If the police had acted immediately, the girl could have been saved.
BJP says: Mamta Banerjee is unable to protect girls in Bengal
Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha protested in Kolkata after the girl’s body was found in South 24 Parganas.
Union minister and West Bengal BJP president Sukant Majumdar said, “A Class IV girl returning from her classes in Kripakhali was raped and murdered. The villagers recovered his body from the river bed. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is unable to protect women. Bengali girls are not safe even during Navratri. I want to ask Mamata Banerjee how many more Bengali girls will have to face this fate under your mismanagement.
BJP MP Agnimitra Paul said, “The body of a 9-year-old girl returning from her classes yesterday was found in the canal today. Mamata Banerjee police have not registered an FIR. According to those who saw the girl’s body, her body had injuries similar to those on the body of Abhaya (trainee doctor from Kolkata, rape and murder).
In this case, the corpse must be preserved. The post-mortem should be carried out at a hospital under the central government. I spoke to the girl’s father and he agreed that the body should be kept safe. CM should take responsibility as she is protecting the accused. We will demand death sentence for the accused and a CBI investigation into this matter.
Police said they acted immediately after the FIR was registered and an accused was arrested. On the other hand, the police said they acted immediately after receiving the complaint. According to the police, the FIR was registered on Friday evening at 9 p.m. After this, the police swung into action and after preliminary investigation, arrested an accused this morning.
Police arrested Mustakin Sardar, 19, for the girl’s murder.
