Outrage in West Bengal Over Rape and Murder of 9-Year-Old Girl in Jaynagar
Oct 6, 2024, 01:55 AM
The recent rape and murder of a 9-year-old girl in Jaynagar, West Bengal's South 24 Parganas district, has sparked widespread outrage and political backlash. The body of the victim was discovered in a marshy area, leading to violent clashes between locals and police, including the torching of a police outpost. BJP leaders have criticized Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, accusing her administration of failing to maintain law and order and protect women. NCPCR Chairperson Priyank Kanoongo and Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar, among other BJP officials, have called for severe penalties for the perpetrators, including the death penalty. The Calcutta High Court has ordered a post-mortem to be conducted at AIIMS Kalyani. Mamata Banerjee has responded by assuring that the case will be fast-tracked and the culprits will face the strictest punishment under the POCSO Act. The incident has drawn parallels with the RG Kar case, further intensifying public outrage.
