Kolkata, Feb 7 (IBNS): A day after a nearly 15-year-old school-student was allegedly raped and killed inside her bedroom at Lenin Nagar area under Sonarpur Police Station limits in Kolkata's neighbouring South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, police on Tuesday arrested a local youth in connection with the case, reports said.

According to reports, the youth, Amit Roy alias Chhotu, and six other suspects were detained on Monday and after hour-long interrogation, police booked Amit Roy on the wee hours of Tuesday.

The youth was produced in a local court in Baruipur later and sent to 10-day police custody for further interrogation.

Earlier on Monday morning, the tenth standard student was found bloody, lying on her bed, and her family claimed that she was raped and killed in a midnight jolt inside her room.

Following the incident, locals on Tuesday morning vandalized the house of main accused in the case, Amit Roy.
