West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has accused police of stopping her from visiting the family of a child allegedly raped and murdered in Baruipur, South 24 Parganas. TMC leaders said dozens of police vehicles blocked the lane outside her Kalighat residence, calling it an act of "house arrest." The incident triggered violent protests in Baruipur, where an accused was lynched by locals. A Special Investigation Team has been formed to probe the case. Police have not officially responded to the house arrest claims. Security remains tight in the area. (PC: India Today)
