Event Summary

The rape and murder of an 11-year-old girl in India — Baruipur, India — West Bengal, on July 5, 2026, sparked violent protests, a mob lynching of an innocent man, and the police killing of the main suspect. The incident has become a political flashpoint, with opposition parties accusing the newly elected BJP government of failing to protect women. The victim was Muslim, while the arrested suspects are Hindu, adding communal overtones. The state government has formed a special investigation team and arrested 35 people for mob violence. The case echoes the 2024 RG Kar Medical College rape-murder that contributed to the BJP's electoral victory in May 2026.
