BALASORE: Tension gripped Balasore's Nilagiri area after a Dalit girl
was allegedly gangraped and murdered on a temple premise here. A
special
police squad rushed to the spot on Saturday and has started
investigation into the incident.

The body of Swarnalata Dalai (23), daughter of Bhagaban Dalai of
Banpur village within Nilagiri police limits was found inside the
temple campus on Friday evening. Her family said, she had gone to
fetch water from the temple tubewell.

"When she did not return home, we started looking for her. I found her
lying dead in the temple campus. We suspect some people hidden inside
the temple raped and killed her by suffocating her with her chunri,"
her father Bhagaban said.

Following complaint police have started investigation. "From the
condition of the body, it seems the girl has been raped and then
killed. Her clothes were torn and there were injury marks on her neck
private parts. Semen stains were also found. So it can be said a case
of rape and murder," additional SP (Balasore) Ramesh Sahu said.

Sahu said the post mortem report is awaited. "We are yet to ascertain
whether it was a gang rape. We are interrogating local people and some
students of a mess. No one has been arrested," he said.
