As the furor across nation continues over the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata바카라™s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, the West Bengal child rights body has taken cognizance of a rape threat to the minor daughter of a TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee.

The West Bengal Commission for Protection of Child Rights has take suo motu cognizance of rape threat to 11-year-old daughter of TMC MP and party바카라™s national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee.

The child rights body has taken cognizance of a video on social media from a protest rally over the chilling August 9 incident in Kolkata's RG Kar hospital, reports said.

Reportedly, the body has said the one person in the gathering was heard threatening the minor daughter of Abhishek Banerjee with rape.

The panel also said the person was publicly announcing a reward of a sum of Rs 10 crore to anyone who commits it, reports mentioned.

"Such filthy intention of the miscreant and his indecent remark in public amounts to outraging the modesty of a minor girl and also endangering her safety and security," the commission has said in a statement.

It called upon police to take action under the stringent Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, the Juvenile Justice Act and the UN Convention on Rights of a Child.

"While the entire state is mourning the sad demise of the doctor at RG Kar, calling for another rape to settle scores is clearly violative of the law and could send out a dangerous message to society if punitive measures are not taken. This can put not just the minor girl in question but all minor girls at risk," the commission said.

The child rights body has sought from the police an action taken report in this matter within two days.

Kolkata and adjacent areas are witnessing massive protests over the chilling incident of rape-murder at the RG Kar hospital.
