CM Adhikari assured of strict action against 200 individuals who vandalised public property, damaged police vehicles and railway tracks during a protest against the rape-murder.

West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Tuesday said the person lynched by a mob in connection with the rape and murder of a 11-year-old girl in Baruipur, South 24 Parganas, was innocent.

Adhikari directed Director General of Police Sidd Nath Gupta to submit a report in the case and assured strict action against 200 individuals who allegedly vandalised public property, damaged police vehicles and railway tracks during a protest against the crime.

“The youth killed in the mob lynching, Indrajit Mondal, was also innocent. This is what the police told me; these are not my words. He (Mondal) will also get justice. I have met his family members also," he was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.

The minor girl’s body was found stuffed inside a sack and was recovered from a pond on Sunday, triggering widespread outrage among locals who blocked the Baruipur-Joynagar Road, burnt tyres and vandalised police vehicles, demanding immediate action against those responsible.
