Kolkata: A rape accused, charged with sexually assaulting his 12-year-old daughter, was attacked by a mob in Bansdroni, when cops took the man to the crime scene to collect evidence on Saturday afternoon.
The group of locals who attacked the accused, believed he was using political links to ‘weaken the case' against him. The confrontation resulted in injuries to three individuals, including a cop. The mob later staged a protest, which resulted in a two-hour road block. Police personnel were deployed to control the situation. —Dwaipayan Ghosh
