Srabanti Ghosh: Attacks against Hindu minorities took a disgusting turn after a 12-year-old Hindu girl Srabanti Ghosh was brutally raped, murdered and hanged.
Srabanti Ghosh Incident
The little girl was assaulted physically in Lalkhan Bazar of Chattagram during the night of 6th January. After the physical assault, Srabanti was strangled by her killers who staged the crime as a suicide.
The girl was inside her home with her younger brother. Her mother used to work till late at night and her father laboured away from their home.
Social Media Reactions
Social media users and Hindu minority protection groups severely condemned this incident against childhood, human conscience and the rule of law.
The murder of Srabanti fits into a well-documented and disturbing pattern of atrocities against children and women.
The staging of the little girl’s murder as a suicide is equally alarming. It reflects a recurring tactic involving sexual violence against young children facing disproportionate vulnerability in a country that has crossed all limits of humanity and conscience.
