The body of a 10-year-old girl was found in West Bengal's South 24 Parganas district on Saturday, triggering arson at a police outpost by locals who alleged that the minor was raped and murdered, a senior officer said.

Villagers said the minor had been missing since Friday evening and the police "did not act on their complaint immediately".

As the body of the girl was recovered by locals from marshy land in Jaynagar area early this morning, a mob torched the Mahismari police outpost and pelted the policemen with stones.
