The tragic incident in South 24 Parganas, West Bengal, involving the death of a 10-year-old girl has raised significant concerns about safety and police response in the region. The girl was reported missing after she failed to return home from tuition, prompting her family to file a complaint with the police. Her body was later discovered in a canal, showing signs of severe injuries, including broken limbs.
The police have detained a suspect who allegedly confessed to the crime, and local authorities have expressed their commitment to investigating the matter thoroughly. However, the incident has sparked outrage among community members and political opposition, particularly from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has criticized the state government led by Mamata Banerjee for failing to ensure women’s safety.
Family members of the victim have accused the police of negligence, claiming that their initial pleas for help were ignored. This has led to protests demanding justice for the girl and accountability from the police. BJP leaders have called for a central government investigation and have expressed distrust in the local police’s handling of the case.
The situation highlights ongoing concerns about women’s safety in West Bengal and has intensified political tensions in the state as various groups demand justice and systemic changes.
