Burdwan (West Bengal): Villagers in the East Burdwan district in West Bengal vandalised the house of three persons on Friday, accused of 'kidnapping' and 'murdering' the nine-year-old son of a panchayat member, and demanded a death penalty for them.
Sandeep Dolui, son of Buddhadeb Dolui, was reportedly 'kidnapped' and 'murdered' causing much uproar in the village following which the houses of the accused were destroyed.
Sandeep was kidnapped from the village by the three accused on Wednesday night. After the kidnapping, they had demanded Rs 7 lakhs as ransom, which was later narrowed down to Rs 3 lakhs. On not receiving the ransom amount, they allegedly tied him and threw him alive in the Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) canal.
