<p><strong>Details of the Case</strong></p>
<p>The accused, identified as Rajesh Paswan, Vicky Paswan, and Sanju Sai, are currently in police custody. They have been charged under the POCSO Act for allegedly abducting and assaulting a class 8 student. Reports indicate that the girl was taken to a secluded location while returning from her tuition classes and later left near her home during the last week of October.</p>

<p><strong>Public Outcry and Protest March</strong></p>
<p>Hundreds of people, including many women, participated in the rally that stretched over two kilometers—from Airport Gate No 1 to Nagerbazar via Kalidhan Colony and Gorabazar. The participants demanded the death penalty for the accused, expressing outrage over the incident.<a href="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/dumdum-2.jpg"><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-26816 aligncenter" src="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/dumdum-2-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="711" height="400" srcset="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/dumdum-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/dumdum-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/dumdum-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/dumdum-2-750x422.jpg 750w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/dumdum-2-1140x641.jpg 1140w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/dumdum-2.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 711px) 100vw, 711px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Statement from Bangla Pokkho</strong></p>
<p>Garga Chatterjee, the general secretary of Bangla Pokkho, stated that political parties have remained silent due to vote-bank concerns. He added that the organization would continue its protests until the culprits face severe punishment and Bengali daughters can live without fear.</p>
