AGARTALA, Dec 22 (TIWN): In the 15 years old girl’s horrifying gang-rape incident, Congress leader Subal Bhowmik has drawn BJP Govt’s attention which is lapsing on the increasing Crime against Women. Meeting the rape victim, Subal Bhowmik said that the state is turning a ‘heaven’ for the Rapists and Criminals but the Chief Minister has concern about these serious problems. Women Congress leader Panna Deb was too present with Subal Bhowmik during the visit in GB hospital, where Sonamura’s Class-IX student is admitted after gangraped while returning form school. CPI-M’s student wing SFI also held protest against this incident whereas more Congress leaders visited yesterday in the hospital. BJP MLA Sudip Roy Barman is launching protest as he says, time for holding patience is no more.

In a ghastly incident in Tripura, three alleged suspects kidnapped a 15-year-old school girl, following which they raped the minor and dumped her in a bloodied condition, police said on Saturday. State has demanded execution punishment of the accused.

According to the police, the girl, who is in the ninth standard, was kidnapped on Friday while she was returning home from school in Sonamura town in Sepahijala district.

Following the abduction, the suspects drove to a remote area where they raped the girl and then dumped her near a graveyard at Thakurmura on the outskirts of Sonamura town later at night.

Local people rescued the girl and admitted her at the Sonamura Sub-Divisional Hospital. But she was referred to the Govind Ballabh Pant Medical College and Hospital here as her condition was critical.

A police official said that one of the accused was arrested on Saturday and was being interrogated on the whereabouts of the other accused.

The victim''s father, a day labourer, has registered an FIR with the police and demanded severe punishment of the culprits.

Leaders of various women organisations and statutory bodies met the girl and her family members and assured to take steps to punish the offenders.

Earlier this month, it was reported that a 17-year-old girl in Tripura was raped for one-and-a half month and then burnt alive by a youth and his mother even after taking money as dowry.
