Kolkata, May 25: After the post poll violence in Bhangipara village in Hatgachi, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) on Tuesday directed an FIR against the All India Trinamool Congress leader SK Sahajahan and West Bengal Police OC Shubra Sanyal under Juvenile Justice Act for attack, molestation and destruction of whole village and traumatizing the kids.
This is a day after eminent citizens including retired High Court judges, Bureaucrats, Diplomats and Army veterans Monday submitted a memorandum to President Ram Nath Kovind and the Chief Justice of India N V Ramana asking for a Special Investigation Team to investigate post-poll violence in West Bengal. They have also requested that SIT be headed by a retired Supreme Court judge.
About 5000 people in West Bengal were forced to flee to other states to save their lives. The Mamata Banerjee administration made every attempt to stop Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar from visiting violence affected areas. He not only visited the violence affected areas in West Bengal but also visited the camp in Assam where people are living after fleeing the violence in the state.
Further, Over 2,000 women lawyers from across the country wrote to Chief Justice of India (CJI) N V Ramana on Monday urging him to take cognisance of alleged post-election violence in West Bengal and constitute a Special Investigation Team to register FIRs and investigation into the matter. The letter signed by 2,093 women advocates, including lawyers from West Bengal, claimed that the post-poll violence continuing since May 2 in the state has not even spared women and children
The lawyers said that there was a “constitutional crisis” in the state due to the violence since May 2, which has made the condition of the citizens in the state “deplorable”. “The incidents of violence have shackled the conscience of thousands of women lawyers across the length and breadth of 'Bharat'. It is stated with utmost grief that the perpetrators of violence have not even spared women and children,” it said.
