Kolkata, March 6: In yet another shocking incident, a three-year-old girl has been allegedly raped by a bus-cleaner inside a parked luxury bus in Kolkata’s Canal (West) Road on Monday. The accused 45-year-old Sheikh Munna has been taken into custody and the victim is being treated at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

The incident took place on Monday evening when the victim was  playing with her five-year-old brother. The accused  Munna lured her inside the bus on the pretext of giving her a chocolate and then allegedly raped her.

The boy kept banging on the bus’s doors and begged accused to let her sister go. When Munna refused to open the oor, victim’s brother ran to inform about the incident to their mother, who is a widowed rag-picker. The woman alerted her neighbours, who rushed to the bus and rescued her from the accused’s grip and then thrashed him before informing the police.

Speaking to news agency PTI, a senior police officer said,”We are waiting for the report of the tests conducted on the girl to confirm rape. We are questioning the accused and our forensic experts have collected samples from the spot where the alleged incident took place.”

The doctors at the state-run medical facility said that the girl was bleeding heavily when she was brought to the hospital. “She had bled profusely but her condition has improved since last night and possibly she will survive. Signs are clear that she had been brutalised,” a senior doctor said.

“The victim’s brother had pleaded with Munna to open the door and let her his sister go when she was screaming. The boy continued banging on the bus’s door but there was no result,” the police officer said.

“We found the girl lying in a pool of blood on a bus seat. The child’s clothes were torn and she was bleeding profusely,” the senior police officer said adding that the accused had blood on his hands and trousers when he was arrested.
