The girl was allegedly abducted after she went out of her house at Sonapur village near Siliguri on Sunday morning to answer nature’s call. She was found dead after a few hours, and the villagers alleged that she was raped before being murdered. As police personnel were trying to lift the blockade, the mob set three North Bengal State Transport Corporation (NBSTC) buses on fire and also set ablaze three police vans, the officers said. Police reinforcements, including Rapid Action Force, were brought in to lift the blockade and remove the protesters, the officers said.
