Held for raping 8-year-old niece

A 55-year-old man was arrested on Sunday morning on charges of raping his eight-year-old niece in Shilthakur Lane, Behala. Police said the accused, Ganesh Gorai, entered the house and allegedly raped the Class III student on Saturday night while her parents were away, visiting a relative. “The girl was crying in pain as she narrated the incident to her mother. The parents lodged a complaint with Behala police station early on Sunday and Gorai was arrested thereafter,” said an officer. “The girl was studying when Ganesh entered her house. He offered her chocolates and later raped her,” the officer added. Ganesh, who lives next door to the victim, supplies stationery goods to a local market. The girl’s father owns a garment shop in Behala.

Jump motive

Bipul Mittal, 27, who “jumped off” the 11-storeyed Poddar Point building on Park Street, might have done so out of a sense of guilt and frustration, claimed police on Sunday.

This could have pushed Bipul over the brink, feel cops. According to them, he was also frustrated with his job.
