By Rajesh Saha: The Inspector-in-charge of Kaliaganj police station in West Bengal’s Uttar Dinajpur district has been removed from his post after violence gripped the area last week following the alleged rape and murder of a 17-year-old girl.
Officer Dipanjan Das transferred to Siliguri, where he will serve as an inspector in GRP.
The decision to remove Das from his post was taken in light of the unrest that had taken place in the area following the death of the minor girl. A demonstration over the girl’s death had turned violent as a mob set the Kaliaganj police station on fire, and thrashed on-duty police personnel. The protestors claimed she was raped and murdered, though a preliminary post-mortem examination report did not indicate that.
