District- Murshidabad/Feb- 15/02/2008/ Sl.No.-164<br />
Victim(s) : 1) Renuka Mondal 2) Belu Rani Mondal<br />
Perpetrator(s) : 1) BSF Constables 2) BSF Commander 3) OIC<br />
Location : International Border Pillar, Raninagar<br />
Date of incident : 10/02/2008<br />
Case Details:<br />
Victim Renuka Mondal, aged 40, is a resident of Chor Rajapur Paschim Colony, falling under the<br />
jurisdiction of Raninagar Police Station. The victim is a widow. She was working in her field located at the<br />
International Border on 10 th February 2008. Two BSF Constables approached Renuka for satisfying<br />
their sexual urge. When the victim refused she was beaten with sticks and abused with filthy words. The<br />
perpetrators tried to strip her naked and attempted to rape her. Hearing her shout Belu Rani, who was<br />
working in the adjacent field rushed to find the officials so aggressive. She fled from the place in fear and<br />
came back after some times. Then both the victims and few others went to the BSF Camp, and narrated<br />
the incident to the OIC of Chor Moirosi BSF Camp. The officer called the accused in the presence of<br />
everybody. All of a sudden he began to assault Renuka and Belu with sticks preventing them from<br />
narrating the matter. The victims returned home without any justice. Renuka went to Raninagar Police<br />
Station on 11 th February 2008, but the police just registered a general diary entry rather than filing a<br />
criminal case. They neither initiated investigation nor took any action against the perpetrators till date.<br />
Thus the women in the villages are becoming victims in the hands of a section of BSF, and the<br />
administration is playing the role of mere spectators.<br />
