The girl was discovered hanging from a tree near the village of Kaliabazar, West Bengal, this morning and angry villagers quickly rounded up a local ‘Tantrik’ holy man and his two friends. The trio were mercilessly beaten. One later died in hospital and the two others are still being treated. It was a grim reminder of the recent gang-rape case in Badaun, Uttar Pradesh, where two sisters were raped and then hanged from a tree outside their village. After a string of high-profile cases, India has become notorious for savage sexual attacks on often young women and girls.
This serves the perverts right! The rape-and-kill-young-girls cases in India was becoming unbearable, haba! More pictures after the break
The victim in the most-recent case had gone missing last night, after apparently going out to the neighbourhood shop. The Hindustan Times reports that people went around the village to gather a search party, which found her body handing from a tree. Word spread and rumours began circulating that she had been gang-raped, spurring villagers to round up Ratan Das, a local Tantrik, or Hindu witchdoctor, and two of his associates. The mob beat up the men and also set fire to a house belonging to Das, who had been seen with the victim yesterday morning. Then they went to police.
