Kolkata, Jan 1: The death of a minor gang-rape victim here took a political color Wednesday when the opposition CPI-M suspect the police of trying to forcibly burn the victim’s body against the family’s needs.

The ruling Trinamool Congress has rejected the party of India-Marxist’s allegations.

The girl, who was allegedly raped twice in Oct and had afterwards set herself on fire as she was unable in contact the taunts and threats by her alleged molestors, Tues succumbed to her injuries in a very government hospital here.

“There was so much drama over my daughter’s body,” aforesaid the inconsolable father when the body was retrieved from the crematorium and eventually dropped at the CITU workplace within the town.
