Kolkata, Nov 25 (IANS) A youth has been arrested on the charges of raping and murdering a five-year-old girl in Gurap of West Bengal’s Hoogly district.

As per the statements given by the victim’s parents to the police, the girl went missing on Sunday evening. After she did not return home for quite some time, the parents started enquiring with the neighbours about whether any of them had seen her.
On getting information from an eyewitness who saw the girl entering the house of the accused, the parents along with some other neighbours went there and started questioning the accused.
Being suspicious of the inconsistent statements given by the accused, they informed the local police station.

The trial process in the matter was in progress with civic volunteer Sanjay Roy being identified as the “sole prime accused” in the rape and murder crime in the first chargesheet of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
