Superintendent of Police (SP) Cooch Behar Anoop Jaiswal said, “We have arrested the constable. He has been suspended from his services as we learnt about the incident.”

According to a complaint lodged by the victim’s mother, who runs a tea stall in front of barack,  the victim went to deliver bread and vegetable curry. The accused overpowered the victim, dragged her to a room and raped her.

The victim’s mother suspected foul play after she noticed that the minor regularly denied going inside the barrack to deliver orders and remained silent.
