Siliguri, 06th November: A high-profile case of alleged mental and sexual harassment of a 15-year-old maid has surfaced from Siliguri. The accused identified as Bajrang Agarwal, a renowned physiologist from Siliguri, has been arrested in connection to the case. The investigating officer, an Additional Commissioner of Police (ACP) Mukhsudur Rahman, has been tasked with probing the heinous crime.
According to the complaint, the minor, hailing from Malbazar, had come to Siliguri in search of work due to financial constraints. She started working as a maid at Agarwal’s residence a few months ago. However, based on her statement, the accused allegedly subjected her to mental and sexual harassment.
Despite the unbearable suffering, the girl endured the abuse due to her family’s poverty. However, she finally managed to escape from Agarwal’s residence and took a bus to Malbazar to report the incident to her uncle.
Subsequently, on October 24, the minor filed a written complaint at the Bhakti Nagar police station, accusing Agarwal of mental torture and sexual harassment. Based on the complaint, the police arrested Agarwal and produced him before the court where he was remanded in police custody for four days. The case is currently under further police investigation.
