American girl molested in Santiniketan
Santiniketan (West Bengal): An American girl student was allegedly molested in the Visva Bharati University campus here, police sources said on Tuesday.
The girl, a member of a 10-member student excursion team, was visiting the Kalo Bari (Black House) near Sangeet Bhawan in the campus on Monday when a miscreant tried to molest her, the sources said.
She and others immediately shouted for help which drew the attention of the security staff of the university who caught the miscreant and handed him to police.
The girl and other members of the foreign students team of eight girls and two boys had come to Santiniketan on an educational tour guided by a Kolkata-based organisation.
An official of the organisation later lodged a complaint of molestation with the police.
Superintendent of police of Birbhum L N Meena said the miscreant, identified as Sunny Mishra, was to some extent mentally retarded.
He said police had taken immediate action and talked to the foreign students and their guide.
University registrar Manimukt Mitra said, "We should not describe the incident as a result of security lapse. The security staff caught the miscreant immediately after he committed the crime.”
