Bengali officials have yet to inquire about her well-being... Durgapur rape victim's father expresses pain
The victim’s father in Durgapur wants to take her back to his state. He also expressed anger at the Bengali administration. He said no administrative officer here has contacted him yet. He did not even ask about the physical condition of the victim. In an interview with TV9 Bangla on Tuesday, the victim’s father said, “I want all the culprits to be arrested. The culprits must be punished severely, otherwise more such incidents will happen in the future. I cannot trust the Chief Minister.” Expressing anger at the administration, he said, “No one from the administration here has contacted me. However, all the Superintendents of Police (SPs) and DSPs (ADPs) of my state are talking to me. I have requested my chief minister. I will bring my daughter’s TC from here and get her registered in Bhubaneswar.” The two-member team of Odisha Women Commission met the victim on Monday. Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi spoke to the victim’s mother on Tuesday. He spoke to the victim’s mother on the phone for a while on Tuesday morning. He assured them that the Odisha government is with them in all respects. The Chief Minister of Odisha appealed to the victim’s mother not to lose patience and maintain courage. He asked about the health of the victim. Leader of the Opposition in the state assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, said that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has not yet contacted the victim’s family. Talking about the health of the victim, he said, “I am even more ashamed to hear that our Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee did not come to meet me or call me. However, Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Majhi called and expressed his condolences. He assured help for the future of the student.” The police rejected the allegations of gang-rape. On the other hand, the police said that gang-rape was not confirmed in this case. Investigation is ongoing. “Our investigation revealed the presence of all five arrested accused, and the victim’s mobile phone was recovered, and information about her friend’s clothes was also collected.” We visited the crime scene with the victim’s friend and recreated the crime. The police said that based on the victim’s statement, it came to light that only one person committed the rape. We investigate all aspects. Forensic and medical reports are awaited. The role of the victim’s friend also seems suspicious. This is also being investigated. We are also investigating his activities. We question him. We are interrogating all the arrested accused. The police said that based on physical evidence and the victim’s own statement, it was found that only one person was involved in the sexual assault. We are with the victim’s family and support them. We informed them about the progress of the investigation. We also want to provide personal security to the family members. We have deployed a large number of police forces to protect the victim.
