On 7 June 2013, a 20-year-old college student was abducted, gang-raped and murdered in Kamduni, near Barasat, about 20 km from Kolkata. The victim, a second year BA student of Derozio College, was walking home along the Kamduni BDO Office Road in the afternoon, when she was abducted and taken inside a factory where she was gang raped by at least nine men. After raping her, the perpetrators tore apart her legs up to the navel, slit her throat and dumped her body into a nearby field. Eight of the nine accused have been arrested. The victim's family and the villagers have steadfastly demanded justice for the victim and refused any financial help from the government. == Incident == The Kamduni BDO Office Road is a 4.5 km stretch from the Kamduni bus stop on Rajarhat main road to the Barasat II BDO Office, from where it goes further north up to Madhyamgram. The 20 ft wide road has fisheries, paddy lands and factory sheds along both sides. The area is notorious for illegal hooch dens frequented by the anti-socials and fishery mafia. A hooch den even operates just beside the Barasat II Block Trinamool Congress party office at Kamduni bus stop. Women passing through that road are almost always met with lewd comments. Locals alleged that a middle aged woman was raped in the same factory compound five years ago. Kamduni residents further allege that the anti-socials enjoy political patronage and hence the police are reluctant to take any action against them. At around 8:30 pm local time, the brothers of the victim discovered the brutalized, mutilated, naked body of their sister alongside a ''bheri'' in the At Bigha region of Kharibari in Rajarhat. At around 9:45pm, an altercation and subsequent skirmish occurred between the villagers and the police when the latter tried to recover the body of the victim. The crowd damaged three police vehicles. At around 2 am, a huge police contingent recovered the victim's body from the villagers and sent it to Barasat for post mortem. On the evening of 15 June, a contingent of the Indian Reserve Battalion started flag march in Kamduni. In spite of the paramilitary vigil a team of Citizen's Forum visited Kamduni. Several women's organizations, including Matangini Mahila Samiti, Maitri, Manabi, Ahalya and Chetana, visited Kamduni.〔 On 17 June, Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, visited Kamduni. She promised that charge sheet would be produced against the arrested within 15 days of the incident and that her government would plead for the capital punishment of the culprits. However, nothing has been done so far because of the stronghold of the Trinamool Congress in the area. When some of the women of the village requested her to listen to their grievances, she lost her temper and accused them of being CPI(M) cadres and Maoists. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2013 Kamduni gang rape and murder case」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
