A four-year-old girl was molested in Tarakeshwar area of Hooghly district of West Bengal late night on Friday (7 November 2025). This incident of brutal sexual exploitation has shocked the entire state. According to the police, the victim was sleeping with her grandmother in a mosquito net under the railway shed, when some unknown person cut the mosquito net and abducted the girl.
The family told that they belong to the Banjara community. They were living temporarily in the railway shed as their house was demolished by the administration. The next day in the afternoon, the girl was found naked and soaked in blood near Tarakeshwar Railway High Drain. “She was sleeping next to me,” said the girl’s grandmother, who showed a torn mosquito net. Someone took him at around 4 in the morning. I didn’t even know. They cut the mosquito net and took her away; when they found her, she was naked.” After the incident, the victim has been admitted to Tarakeshwar Rural Hospital, where her condition is said to be critical.
Police registered a case, investigation continues under POCSO Act
A senior officer of Hooghly Rural Police said that an FIR has been registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses Act (POCSO) in connection with the incident. The police team has collected forensic evidence from the incident site. The process of scanning the footage of CCTV cameras installed nearby has been started. The police officer said that we are investigating from every angle. Based on initial evidence the culprit will be identified soon. However, the victim’s family has alleged that the local police initially delayed in registering the FIR, after which the case was registered due to increasing pressure.
BJP accused Mamta government
A political storm has also arisen over this gruesome incident. BJP leader and leader of opposition in the assembly, Subhendu Adhikari launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s government. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that a 4 year old girl was raped in Tarakeshwar. The family reached the police station, but no FIR was registered. The police is busy suppressing crime. This is the real face of Mamata Banerjee’s rule. A girl’s life was ruined, and the police is protecting the fake law and order of the state.
