Tensions erupt in Indian state after 11-year-old raped and murdered

The family and villagers alleged that the police did not take their pleas seriously and said they would look into it the next day.Desperate family members and villagers then themselves looked through the CCTV footage from nearby shops and spotted her walking with Prabhash Mondal - a local man who has since been killed by the police. Early Sunday morning, a mob went to Mondal's house, caught him and handed him over to the police.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.According to the post-mortem report, the cause of death is drowning, leading to claims that she was alive when she was dumped in the pond. "Had the police acted earlier, she could have been saved," her relatives have said.The police complaint has since been amended to include charges under the Pocso, India's stringent law on child sexual abuse. The police have yet to hold a press conference on the case or respond to the allegations.The government has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to inquire into the case.
