The police on the southern outskirts of Kolkata have launched a comprehensive investigation into a harrowing incident where a minor girl was allegedly drugged and gang-raped by two men.

The shocking crime came to light after the victim’s mother lodged a formal complaint at the Sarsuna Police Station, detailing a nightmarish ordeal that took place approximately a month ago.

According to law enforcement officials, the tragic sequence of events began in April when the teenager accepted an offer for a lift in a car near the Behala neighborhood.

Crucially, a senior police officer revealed that one of the victim's acquaintances, another young girl, was also present inside the vehicle when the ride commenced.

As the journey progressed, the situation took a sinister turn. The unsuspecting victim was allegedly coerced or tricked into consuming a specific food item that had been laced with a sedative.

Shortly after eating it, she lost consciousness. The officer stated that when the teenager finally regained awareness at an unfamiliar location, she realized to her horror that she had been brutally sexually assaulted by two male occupants of the car.

To aggravate the crime, the perpetrators reportedly recorded the entire assault on video. They later leveraged this sensitive footage to threaten, intimidate, and silence the traumatized girl, warning her against revealing the incident to anyone.

The victim’s family did not approach the authorities immediately, which police attributed to the severe emotional and psychological trauma the minor was suffering in the aftermath of the attack.

Now that the matter has been reported, law enforcement has officially registered a First Information Report (FIR) under the stringent provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

Dedicated investigative teams are currently working to establish the exact location where the assault occurred, identify the two male suspects, and track down the vehicle used in the crime.

Furthermore, detectives are closely examining all potential angles, including the specific role played by the other girl who was present in the car.
