Woman raped and murdered in Alipurduar during CM Mamata's visit, protestors block Asian Highway

A 22-year-old woman was allegedly raped and murdered in the Joygaon area of Alipurduar on Monday and Tuesday, during the visit of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to the district. The accused, Bablu Teli, a local youth, has been arrested by the police. In response to the crime, local residents staged protests, blocking the Asian Highway and demanding justice for the victim.

The incident unfolded on Monday when the victim’s mobile phone was allegedly taken by Bablu Teli, and she attempted to retrieve it. According to the police, on Tuesday at approximately 11 a.m., Teli called the victim to a remote area under the pretense of returning her phone. It was there that the victim was reportedly sexually assaulted and later killed. Her body was discovered in a tea garden near the area at around midnight, leading to the commencement of a police investigation.

Police arrested the accused, Bablu Teli, shortly after the body was found. They are currently investigating the exact circumstances of the incident, including whether it was indeed a case of rape and murder, as claimed by the victim’s family. Authorities are also examining any potential links between this crime and other recent violent incidents in the region. The police confirmed that they are conducting a thorough investigation to gather all relevant details.

Manbendra Das, the Additional Superintendent of Police for Alipurduar, confirmed the arrest and stated, “We have arrested the accused, and investigations are ongoing. We are thoroughly reviewing all aspects of the case, including the possibility of rape and murder.” The local community has voiced their anger over the incident, especially due to the frequency of violent crimes in the area, many of which they feel have not been properly addressed. In addition to blocking the highway, residents are demanding stricter actions and faster resolutions for such crimes. The authorities continue to investigate the full scope of the incident and its connection to other recent crimes in the area.
