The accused, identified as Prabhas Mondal, was being taken by police for the reconstruction of events related to the case when the incident occurred.<\/p>\n

According to local police, Mondal allegedly tried to snatch a service weapon from a police personnel and attempted to escape from custody. Police then opened fire, injuring him.<\/p>\n

He was rushed to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead, officials said.<\/p>\n

The case pertains to the death of a 12-year-old girl in Baruipur in West Bengal’s South 24 Parganas district. The girl’s body was recovered from the Surjyapur Haat area on Sunday, a day after she was reported missing.<\/p>\n

The incident sparked protests in the area, with residents demanding the arrest of those responsible. Police later arrested three accused in connection with the case.<\/p>\n

Investigators suspect that one of the accused had taken the minor to a shack where two other accused were present before the incident.<\/p>\n

Police said the three arrested men are being questioned as investigators seek to establish the sequence of events through witness statements, evidence collected from the spot and scientific examination.<\/p>\n

Preliminary post-mortem findings indicated drowning while the victim was still alive<\/a>, though police said the final cause and circumstances of death will be determined only after the forensic and viscera examination reports are received, a report in news agency PTI said. Investigators are also examining injuries noted in the preliminary medical findings.<\/p>\n

CM holds meeting with Baruipur SP<\/h2>\n

Just after the incident came to light, chief minister Suvendu Adhikari held a virtual meeting with police officials across the state, including officers-in-charge of all police stations, and stressed the need for strict adherence to law and established procedures, HT reported earlier<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI had a virtual meeting with all the OCs in the state. I told them that such incidents need to be prevented and that they must follow the law and proper guidelines and directions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The chief minister also sought a report on the police response after the girl’s family approached authorities. \u201cThe girl\u2019s parents lodged a missing complaint with the Baruipur police station at 11.50pm on Saturday, hours after she went missing. I have asked the DG of state police to send me a report within 72 hours. If we find even one percent negligence on the part of police officials after the complaint was lodged, strong actions will be taken,\u201d Adhikari said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
