Rape attempt on school girl foiled in Kasba, Kolkata, attacker arrested
Musharaf
Sheikh who attempted to rape Rukmini (name changed), an 8 year old girl student
of Class IV at Jagadish Vidyapith, in Kasba, Kolkata became victim of mob fury
and was ultimately arrested by police. Ziarul Shiekh, his accomplice, was also
put behind bars. The brutal incident
took place on May 7, 2013 at 1697, Rajdanga Main Road, CMDA, Plot MIG 193/89,
P.S. Kasba, Kolkata – 107 in a building (under construction) where Rukmini’s
father is a caretaker. Musharaf Sheikh is a resident of village: Maheshpur,
P.S. Mograhat, Distirct: 24 Paraganas (South) and a laborer by profession who was working in the same real estate where the victim's
father was also employed.
Rukmini
is the second child of Bimal and Sabitri; the couple has three other children
also. On the fateful day, at around 10 am victim's mother asked her to get her
brother Papai. Rukmini, as a result, went everywhere and also to the
building’s roof. She asked four laborers, including Musharaf Sheikh, who were
working there of her brother. But they replied that Papai was downstairs. Hearing
this Rukmini started going down but she was chased by Musharaf (age 34);
suddenly he dragged her into a room in the third floor and attempted to rape
her.
Musharaf, however, completely misjudged Rukmini who put up a
valiant fight and ultimately prevailed over
her perpetrator. She
ran down screaming and informed her mother who raised an alarm instantly. A
large crowd gathered there within minutes, got hold of Musharaf Sheikh and
thrashed him.
Police came to the spot later on and took Musharaf
Sheikh into custody. Ziarul Sheikh, guarding the room where Musharaf was
torturing Rukmini, was arrested as well.
