The family members of the victim, Tuhina Khatun, have alleged that the girl took the extreme step after aides of the re-elected local councillor abused, outraged the modesty of the victim and her sisters, on the day the civic poll results were announced in Burdwan town. Mr Chowdhury also demanded a CBI investigation into the death of student leader Anish Khan.
