Popular television actress Munmun Dutta has voiced her pain over the rape and murder case involving a 12-year-old girl in Baruipur and asked for justice for the child by urging the authorities to “find these men”.
Munmun shared a poster, which had “JUSTICE FOR BARUIPIUR” written on it.
For the caption, she simply wrote: A 12 year old girl, a mere child, raped and murdered. Yet AGAIN. Find these MEN. (sic).”
The body of the 12-year-old girl was recovered from a pond in West Bengal’s Baruipur area on July 5. She had been missing since July 4. Tension flared up in the area on July 5 over the recovery of the minor’s body.
Family members of the deceased girl claimed that the victim was raped and murdered. However, the police have not confirmed this allegation so far. The autopsy of the minor’s body was completed on the night of July 5.
Police have said that the reason for the murder will be known only after the autopsy report surfaces. The autopsy report, according to the police, will also confirm whether she was raped or not and based on the report, another case will be registered accordingly.
On July 6, the Baruipur Police District on Monday imposed prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in areas under three police stations under its jurisdiction.
With prohibitory orders being imposed, the assembly of five or more people at a place and at a time in areas under these three police stations have been banned till further orders on this count.
