Prabhas Mondal Shot Dead During Crime Scene Reconstruction

Prabhas Mondal was shot dead. That’s what happened during a police encounter while they were trying to reconstruct the crime scene related to the brutal rape and murder of a 12-year-old girl in West Bengal’s Baruipur.

The police said they left the station with him, Prabash Mondal, around midnight, maybe 12:45 am. They were heading toward Surjyapur, where the girl’s body had been found. The whole thing is a mess of timelines you can’t just follow neatly.

Just before they started reconstructing anything serious at the scene, things went sideways. Mondal snatched a weapon from one of the officers. He fired a round at them. Tried to run.

The police responded. They fired back in self-defense. That’s when he got hurt. Rushed straight to Baruipur Hospital. Doctors declared him dead right there.

The situation explodes further down the line with what happened to the girl. Her body, which had been missing since July 4th, finally turned up a day later. It was found stuffed inside a sack near Surjyapur Haat area. That discovery kicked off massive protests. People blocked roads, burned tires, messed with police vehicles just demanding answers and arrests.

And then there was the mob violence. Soon after the body was found, some people were allegedly lynched. A man named Indrajit Mondal. He was accused of involvement in the girl's death. An angry crowd took matters into their own hands.

The preliminary post-mortem findings on the little girl are just horrific. It suggested sexual assault happened to her. There were head injuries. Bite marks everywhere. And she was alive when they threw her into the water. The autopsy also pointed to massive bleeding from the head injury, plus drowning. That’s how she died.

And the internal report? It said there were specific injuries scratch marks and bite marks on different parts of her body. Head trauma too. Water found in her lungs and stomach. All this points to extreme violence.

Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari stepped in, Tuesday. He made sure the Director General of Police, Sidd Nath Gupta, had to submit a report within seventy-two hours. He also made a point about the man who was killed in that mob scene Indrajit Mondal. Adhikari insisted he was innocent. He said they would take action. If there was any delay, even a tiny bit of negligence after the complaint came in, they’d face consequences.

Authorities noted that during those protests, around two hundred people allegedly vandalized public property. Damaged police vehicles. Railway tracks too. It just shows how chaotic things got outside the immediate murder investigation. Police arrested three people already. A special investigation team is now looking into it all.
