Bengal Baruipur Rape-Murder Case: One Accused Killed in Encounter

Police said Prabhas Mondal snatched a firearm and tried to flee during a crime-scene reconstruction in a rape-murder probe that led to his death.

  • On Wednesday morning, police killed Prabhas Mondal, a prime suspect in the rape-murder of an 11-year-old girl in Baruipur, after he allegedly snatched an officer's firearm during a crime scene reconstruction.
  • Following the recovery of the 11-year-old girl's body from a pond on Sunday, authorities formed a six-member Special Investigation Team to investigate the rape-murder case, leading to three arrests.
  • Mob violence during subsequent protests killed a 40-year-old man, prompting West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari to order a 72-hour police report examining potential negligence in the case.
  • Adhikari announced legal action against around 200 individuals identified for vandalizing public property during protests, while pledging capital punishment for all perpetrators responsible for the crime.
  • To prevent future incidents, authorities must strictly implement Supreme Court guidelines, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and statutory protocols under the POCSO Act ensuring child safety.
