The girl has been admitted to a local hospital and a medical exam was conducted on her. A complaint has been lodged with West Bengal Police, which has started an investigation.

"Request to respect the privacy of the girl child and her family. Stern legal action will be initiated against those spreading rumours," a post by the West Bengal Police said.

BJP IT Cell leader Amit Malviya took to X to oppose the cops' handling of the case and said, “Mamata Banerjee’s police has cordoned off the hospital, media isn’t being given access and local TMC leaders are swirling around, to ensure the incident doesn’t get reported.”

Hitting out at West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC Supremo Mamata Banejee, Malviya said, "West Bengal is the most unsafe place for women and girls. Mamata Banerjee has failed. She must step down, immediately. Enough is enough. She hasn’t even set up Fast Track Courts to handle rape and POCSO cases."

Another teen raped at home in Hooghly
