Man killed for allegedly resisting attempt to molest his daughter

Baruipur: A man was killed allegedly by three persons when he tried to stop two of them from harassing his daughter in South 24 Parganas district today, police sources said.

Narayan Pramanik, a barber by profession and a resident of Jangalia Srikrishna village, was killed when he tried to resist attempts by accused Basudeb Adhikary and Tapas Halder to molest his daughter, the sources said.
