A 20-year-old tribal woman was allegedly gang-raped in a West Bengal
village on the orders of a salishi sabha, the state’s equivalent of
khap panchayats (feared for dispensing kangaroo court-style justice),
the police said on Wednesday.
The police suspect as many as 12 persons raped the young woman, who
herself “lost count” during the brutality she endured on Tuesday at
Subalpur village in Birbhum, about 180 km from Kolkata.
News of the vicious gang rape in Birbhum, the home district of
President Pranab Mukherjee, shook the state, which is already reeling
under a series of sex crimes against women.

And put out the flames of Hell

And see the real goal.......
