The officer In-charge of Bhalukpong Police Station informed this daily over the telephone that the gruesome incident probably occurred around 10.am. Police further divulged that the body of minor girl was found inside the jungle near Assam tourist lodge (in Assam), one kilometer away from the police check point, around 1.30 pm following the arrest of a suspect and his subsequent confession to the crime after interrogation. According to police, the accused allegedly lured the minor and took her to jungle after her mother went out of house for some works, there he reportedly raped and killed her. In the meantime few neighbours had seen the minor with the accused around 9.am, police added. “The accused has confessed to the crime, however further investigation is going on” said OC. Meanwhile, sources from Bhalukpong informed that hundreds of people gheraoed the police station and demanded the police to hand over the culprit to them. Shocked by the harrowing incident, large numbers of crowd thronged at police station and disrupted the interrogation process, sources added. The angry crowd also reportedly pelted stone at police station, refused to lodge FIR and shouted slogan demanding exemplary punishment to rapist. It seems the ghost of Delhi gang rape has returned to this “Land of rising Sun.” Few months ago, a Class XII student was killed at Yazali by some labourers when she protested to the rape attempt and a similar incident had also occurred at Tawang when a girl was raped and murdered on 28 August 2012.
