A 14-year-old girl died after she was allegedly gangraped at a birthday party in Hanskhali in West Bengal’s Nadia district. The incident took place on the night of 4 April, 2022. The girl’s family claimed that the main accused is the son of a Trinamool Congress (TMC) panchayat member, 21-year-old Braj Gopal Goala alias Sohail Gayali, who has been arrested by the police for further investigation.
Four days after the incident, the parents of the minor, a student of Class 9, lodged a complaint against the accused at Hanskhali police station. The family members also alleged that the victim’s body was cremated without an autopsy under pressure from the local TMC panchayat leader.
