Case Details:<br />
On 23 July 2007, following a quarrel and while Jayanta Mondal was not at home, victim Jayanta<br />
Montal’s daughter-in-law, Pushpa Montal, suddenly went to the Sankrail PS and lodged a<br />
complaint against Jayanta Mondal’s family. Jayanta Mondal’s family asked Pushpa Montal<br />
repeatedly to keep peace in the family, but she refused.<br />
Later that day, officers from Sankraul PS arrived at Jayanta Mondal’s house and asked to see<br />
her, but she was not at home. The officers instructed Jayanta Mondal’s wife, Sumitra Mondal,<br />
to tell him to appear at the station the next day.<br />
The next day at around 1.30pm, Jayanta Mondal returned home, learned of the police visit, and<br />
went to the station. There, the Second PO asked him about Pushpa Montal’s complaint.<br />
Jayanta Mondal denied all of Pushpa Montal’s allegations. The PO responded by slapping<br />
Jayanta Mondal twice and threatening him. Jayanta Mondal felt insulted and was speechless.<br />
On 26 July 2007, Jayanta Mondal returned to the station. There, he met with the officer in charge<br />
and told him what had happened. The officer apologised on behalf of the Second PO.<br />
Jayanta Mondal also visited the ASP and told him about the Second PO’s actions. The ASP<br />
apologised, and rebuked the PO over the telephone in Jayanta Mondal’s presence.<br />
