KOLKATA: Two young officials of a nationalized bank have been arrested for molesting and passing lewd comments at a 10-year-old girl and her mother at an apartment in Garfa in the wee hours of Monday.
Abhinava Chatterjee and Rahul Sapui, both in their mid-20 s, had gone to a colleague's flat on Rajanikanta Bose Road to watch the Euro final . Another colleague who accompanied the duo has also been named as an accused in the case but is absconding. The trio - working in a nationalized bank's Salt Lake branch - left the apartment after the match got over, around 2am. Another family staying in the same apartment had returned home around the same time and was approaching the stairs.
Police said the trio molested the schoolgirl, who had climbed the stairs ahead of her parents. As the girl screamed, her mother rushed to her aid. But the youths were undeterred and made lewd comments. Her husband, who was a few paces behind his wife and daughter as he had to park his car, arrived within moments.
The heated exchange alerted local youths. Chatterjee was caught, beaten up and handed over to the police but Sapui and the other colleague managed to escape.
On the basis of the complaint lodged by the girl's father, police booked Taltala resident Chatterjee . Sapui was arrested in the morning from his Salt Lake home. Both were charged with molestation and eve-teasing. Their absconding colleague is a resident of Nadia's Ranaghat.
The incident comes days after the molestation of a Class-V student at Garfa. The girl had gone to school in her pool car on June 22 like any other day and on the way, she had been molested by the cleaner of the car.

Amit, please do not stop this ever. I am sure you would have noticed that it is very difficult (if not impossible) to follow on any of these disturbing news. Often times when I read these, I am interested to learn more about what happened next : whether the accused were sentenced, or if they were able to bribe their way out. how is the victim doing and all that.
So I started a project to collect 'follow ups'. My idea was to create a platform where anonymous people could contribute to the story and fill in.
For example, on June 27, 2011, a minor girl was raped for 5 hours by 3 boys and then dumped on the street. One of the rapists was brother of one of the victim's friends. In this particular case, keep track of what happened to the rapist. If he ran away, where did he go and all that would be easy to follow. I tried to follow the news for some time, but then the 'whore' media of India found other interesting stories and did not bother anymore.
