4-Year-Old Girl Allegedly Raped in West Bengal; Opposition Criticizes Police
A little girl, who was sleeping outside with her grandmother near a train station in West Bengal because her home was destroyed, was allegedly taken by someone in the middle of the night.
The person cut their mosquito net to get her.
She was later found alone, without clothes, and hurt near a ditch.
She is very sick at the hospital.
Some politicians are saying that the police were too slow to help and didn't want to report the crime at first.
The police are now looking into what happened to find the person who did this.
A four-year-old girl was allegedly abducted and sexually assaulted near a railway shed in Tarakeswar, West Bengal.
The child was sleeping with her grandmother when the alleged perpetrator cut through their mosquito net and took her.
She was later discovered naked, bleeding, and with bite marks on her cheek near a drain.
The family belongs to the Banjara community and was displaced from their homes.
