The mother of Prabhash (Prabhas) Mondol, the main accused in the Baruipur rape-murder case in West Bengal, refuses to accept his body following his death in a police encounter. Multiple reports say Mondol died during a reconstruction of the crime scene after police alleged he tried to seize a service weapon and fired at the police team, leading to retaliatory fire. He was taken to a hospital but was declared dead.
The case involves the alleged rape and murder of a minor girl, whose disappearance was reported and whose body was later found in a pond, triggering protests and demands for swift action. According to investigators cited by some outlets, a post-mortem report indicates the child was sexually assaulted and tortured, and additional charges including gang rape and murder were described as being applied to other suspects in the matter.
While discussing the death with ANI, the accused’s mother said she would not take the body or bring it home, stating that she believes he received punishment for his alleged actions. Police and investigation updates reported include the arrest of some suspects and the setting up of a special investigation team to probe the case.
