Kolkata: A 5-year-old girl had been allegedly raped by a 1-year-old boy in Kolkata on Friday. He had been arrested by Kolkata police.
The alleged crime took place at the BJP’s ‘mandal’ or branch office in Behala in the South of Kolkata.
The accused is the son of a shop owner located next to the BJP’s office, said police. The keys to the BJP office were kept at this shop.
It has been reported that child was missing around 3 pm, prompting the mother and neighbors to look for her. When they knocked at the BJP’s branch office door, the boy opened it and the girl ran out.
The mother took the child home but then rushed to the Behala police station after she found the girl’s underclothes blood-stained.
The police immediately launched a hunt for the boy, found him and arrested him on the basis of a complaint filed by the parents.
The child was admitted to hospital for medical tests and treatment.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Kolkata South West), Rashid Munir Khan said, “Doctors have confirmed bleeding injuries.”
BJP spokesman Ritesh Tewari said, “We condemn the incident. The guilty must be punished.”
Trinamool MP Derek O’Brien had only one word in condemnation. “Terrible,” he said.
