The West Bengal Police has arrested two personnel of the Border Security Force (BSF)’s 68th Battalion from an India-Bangladesh Border Outpost on prices of raping a girl.
The accused — Assistant Sub-Inspector SP Chero and jawan Altaf Hussain — have been deputed in Bagda’s Bajitpur space and in response to the grievance, the girl was stopped on her means again from Basirhat on Thursday evening and raped by the 2 males. On Friday morning, she lodged a grievance and the native police approached BSF to arrest the 2 males.
SP Tarun Das stated the complainant alleged that the lads dragged her to a close-by discipline and raped her. “The accused have been arrested and will be produced in court on Saturday,” he stated.
This will not be the primary time the BSF is in the throes of such allegations, with folks of bordering villages usually accusing the personnel of torture and rape.
Meanwhile, in an announcement, the BSF stated: “We got information that these two people might be involved in rape. We immediately suspended them and handed them over to the police. The BSF is a disciplined force and will do everything to protect women. There is information that this woman was illegally trespassing near the post.”
The TMC took potshots on the BJP over the problem on Twitter, saying: “Our country is becoming increasingly UNSAFE for women under @BJP4India’s misrule! Mr @AmitShah, under your watch BSF Officer & Jawan raped a woman; threatened her with consequences if she raised her voice. Indeed a shining example of “Atmanirbhar Bharat”!”
MP Kakoli Ghosh Dostidar tweeted: “A homemaker was sexually assaulted by 2 BSF men & was threatened to not raise her voice. THIS is the HORRIFIC reality of BJP’s enhanced jurisdiction! PM @narendramodi, who will take accountability for Rakshaks becoming Bhakshaks?”
The Trinamool Congress is anticipated to carry a rally in the world on Sunday. The incident is more likely to act as a shot in the arm for the TMC authorities, which has opposed the proposal of elevated jurisdiction of the BSF in the world.
