Kolkata: A city court yesterday framed charges against eight accused in the gang rape and subsequent death of a college girl at Kamduni on June seven, which had led to a public outrage in West Bengal.
Additional sessions judge at Bankshall Court, Sanchita Sarkar framed charges against the eight accused who were arrested following the heinous crime. One of the accused is still absconding.
All the accused - Saiful Ali, Ansar Ali, Amin Ali, Imanul Ali, Bhola Naskar, Aminur Islam, Gopal Naskar and Nur Ali - were produced before the court today when the charges were framed against them.
Evidence in the case would commence from September 18, the judge directed.
The 20-year-old girl was brutally raped while she was returning home at Kamduni village under Barasat police station area in North 24 Parganas district after sitting for an university examination. She died of her injuries later.
Residents of Kamduni village, who had come to the court for the hearing, later blocked the busy Council House Street nearby and engaged in a scuffle with policemen expressing reservation over the investigation by the CID.
They shouted slogans demanding that the probe be conducted afresh by CBI.
