and her husband Rakesh Jha ran another firm named ‘Sapphire Marine’. A client in Rakesh’s business<br />
had lodged a complaint against him at Bhawanipore Police Station, over some dispute. Devjani was<br />
also tagged in the case in spite of the fact that the victim was in no way connected to her husband’s<br />
business. Rakesh got bail from the court on 13 th July 2008 and Devjani got bail the next day. The victim<br />
duly informed Bhawanipore Police Station about the bail granted. Following this, Devjani was regularly<br />
harassed by Joydeep Das, IO. He even advised the victim to stay away from her husband at her<br />
parents’ house. On 20 th June 2008 he barged into the house of Devjani at midnight and pushed down the<br />
servant maid. Thus the victim is facing occasional threats from the officer in the name of investigation.<br />
Devjani filed a petition supported by an affidavit before the CJM Court, Alipore seeking appropriate relief.<br />
Though she lodged complaints before several authorities everything was in vain.<br />
