Kolkata, Sep 17
The decomposed body of a seventh standard student was recovered after she went missing for about 20 days. The incident took place at Rampurhat in West Bengal's Birbhum district.
She was a student of Shyampahari Sri Ramakrishna Shikshapeeth in Rampurhat.
The family of the deceased accused the physics teacher of that school, Manoj Kumar Pal, of kidnapping and murdering the student. Based on their complaint, the police on Wednesday morning arrested the accused teacher.
According to the complaint lodged by the family, the student had left home on August 28 to take her tuition.
However, since the body parts started decomposing, it will be difficult to establish the physical assault. The body has been sent for post-mortem and forensic experts have been called.
The arrested person is being questioned by police officers.
