Housewife gang-raped, murdered in Dhapdhapi
Bithi (name changed) is 23 year old wife of Purna Ghosh (name changed)
and resident of Dhapdhapi village under Baruipur police station in 24 Parganas
(South)) district. On 1st August
she was raped and murdered by a gang of criminals while returning with her girl
child Mrittika (name changed) to her residence at 8 pm.
During the incident, three of the criminals encircled her all of a sudden and
grabbed both mother and daughter in a flash. They were then taken to Dakshin
(South) Barasat area where Bithi was raped while an assailant named Salauddin
poured acid on her face. Later
on, the same culprit Salauddin took Bithi to Baruipur Sub-divisional Hospital
and phoned Tarak, brother of Bithi who lives in Dakshin (South) Durgapur and
informed him of the development. Hearing the news Tarak along with other family
members rushed to the hospital to find Bithi lying dead in a pool of blood.
When questioned by police, Tarak confirmed that Salauddin was the main
conspirator behind the event. According to Tarak, Salauddin used to regularly harass
Bithi before her marriage and that he was cautioned by Tarak and his brothers
to leave her alone. Based on complains by the victim’s family, Salauddin along
with his accomplices Ramzan Mandal, Abdul Mandal and Nazir Mandal have been
arrested by police. An FIR 86/13 dated 03.08.2013 under sections 302 and 342
IPC have been lodged against them. According to police, Salauddin
initially poured acid on Bitihi’s face to conceal her identity but later
changed his mind and to prove his innocence, phoned Tarak.
