The body of an 11-year-old girl who had gone missing a day earlier was recovered from West Bengal’s South 24 Parganas district on Sunday, triggering massive protests in the area. Locals alleged that the girl was raped and murdered after her body was found stuffed inside a sack in Baruipur’s Surjyapur Haat area. Angry residents blocked roads, burnt tyres and demanded swift action against those responsible. Police said one person has been detained and an investigation is underway.

Body Found In Sack

The girl's body was discovered on Sunday morning in the Surjyapur Haat area, a day after she reportedly left home to buy a gift for a friend’s birthday and did not return.

Following the recovery, locals staged a protest on the Baruipur-Joynagar Road, demanding the immediate arrest of those involved. Demonstrators burnt tyres and damaged some police vehicles during the agitation.

Family members of the victim alleged that four people had forcibly taken her away.

After the assurance from police, protesters allowed the body to be sent for post-mortem examination at Baruipur Sub-divisional Hospital.

Officials said the autopsy will determine the exact cause of death and establish whether the girl was sexually assaulted.
