BALASORE: Even a week after the alleged gang-rape and brutal killing of a Dalit girl in a temple in Balasore district, the police are clueless about the accused. Several Dalit leaders today demanded Crime Branch probe into the incident and compensation to the victim’s family.
On November 14, the girl Swarnalata Dalai (23) was allegedly found gang-raped and murdered inside the campus of a temple in Banpur village under Nilagiri police limits. Though a special police squad is investigating, no breakthrough has been made yet.
The police seem to be in a tight spot after former Nilagiri MLA Chitta Ranjan Sarangi alleged the involvement of a few students of a local technical school and demanded their arrest.
