The student’s family members had lodged a complaint with the Jibantala police station alleging that the biker used to tease the girl and used to pass lewd remarks. The girl used to ignore the advances. So she was murdered in this inhuman way.

Ganga was arrested on Monday from a hideout at Taldi in Canning. He was booked under section 304 culpable homicide not amounting to murder).  

The biker Ganga and his pillions had fled after the incident, leaving the bike in the middle of the road.
