Minor Girl’s Death in Siliguri Sparks Outrage; MP Raju Bista Demands Swift Action
The death of a 16-year-old girl in Siliguri has triggered strong reactions, with Member of Parliament Raju Bista visiting the bereaved family and calling for immediate action against the accused.
The minor reportedly died by suicide after allegedly facing prolonged harassment. According to her family members, a local resident identified as Amir Ali, from Ward No. 03 in Durga Nagar, Gurung Busty, had been mentally tormenting the girl, which they believe led to the tragic incident.
Expressing concern over the situation, Bista criticized the state government led by Mamata Banerjee, stating that crimes against women and children have been rising. He described the incident as a serious failure in ensuring safety and security for vulnerable groups.
The MP further alleged that the law and order situation in Siliguri has been worsening, attributing it to inadequate action by the administration and police. He claimed that criminals are often emboldened due to alleged political protection.
Bista urged law enforcement authorities to promptly arrest the accused and take strict legal action under relevant provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
He also warned that any delay in justice or failure to ensure a safe environment for young girls in the region could lead to public protests.
Police have yet to issue an official statement regarding the case, and investigations are expected to be underway.
