Calcutta High Court Seeks Police Report on Encounter Killing of Baruipur Accused
The Calcutta High Court has directed the Baruipur police to submit a detailed report on the encounter killing of Prabhash Mondal, accused in the rape and murder of an 11-year-old girl. The police stated Mondal snatched a service revolver during a crime scene reconstruction and fired at officers, leading to retaliatory shooting and his death. The petitioner challenged this account, alleging inadequate security and a fabricated police version. The court scheduled the next hearing for August 18 and noted a suo motu police investigation is underway.
