The recent incident of gang rape at the behest of headman of tribal community at Kangaroo court in Birbhum district that can even make pale any medieval barbarity is the fall-out of the persistent lenient attitude of the present state govt to crimes against women and rapes or gang rape in particular. When an incident of rape takes place govt try hard to shove the incident under the carpet so that it doesn’t in way tarnish the image of the govt.It all started with Park street gang rape case, the first incident of rape in the regime of the present govt.Instead of taking stern action against this gruesome incident CM called it a concocted one to blemish the govt, and transferred the investigating officer Damayanti Sen when she claimed gang rape did actually happen. In fact, it sent a signal to the rapists that govt play down even gruesome incident like rapes and they can perpetrate this heinous crime with impunity. There after umpteen incidents of rape including rape-murder and gang rapes have happened in the state and none has been punished as yet. What’s more, CM a woman herself has unusually kept mum about rapes, let alone take hard measures against the rapists to minimize such awful crimes. Thanks to the present rulers, Bengal has got the most despicable distinction of being the rape capital of the nation and our head hangs in shame to the civilized societies of the globe.
