The police have said a post-mortem report is awaited and rape cannot be confirmed until then.
A girl who had left home to attend a coaching class has been allegedly kidnapped and murdered in West Bengal's South 24 Parganas district, sparking anger and protests. A police camp has also been vandalised and set on fire.
While a post-mortem report is awaited, the BJP has claimed it was a case of rape and murder and hit out at the Trinamool Congress-led government in the state. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the West Bengal government are already under fire over their alleged mishandling of the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in August.
Police said that the girl, a minor, had left to attend a coaching class in South 24 Parganas' in Mahishamari on Friday and the family filed a missing complaint at night after she did not return home. Her body was found in a field around 3.30 am on Saturday with multiple injuries.
