Indian state on the boil after raped girl’s body fished out of pond

The incident in Surjyapur village in Baruipur, on the outskirts of Kolkata, has triggered days of violent protests, a mob lynching and the police killing of one of the suspects.

In the latest case, as more horrific details of the crime have emerged, questions have been raised about the role of the police, while a local politician from the governing party has become embroiled in the controversy.

A few hours later, a sack containing the girl's body was pulled out from the pond, with media reports saying Mondal had led the police to the exact spot.
