In a important development regarding the Anubrata Mondal case, the National Women’s Commission (NWC) has requested a detailed review action report from the Birbhum Superintendent of Police within five days. The commission has raised concerns over the lack of transparency in the police’s handling of the case, especially noting the absence of an FIR copy and medical reports related to the accused. This situation has sparked a broader conversation about accountability and the message it sends to society.
The NWC’s inquiry highlights critical gaps in the investigation, questioning why Anubrata Mondal’s phone has not yet been seized, despite the serious allegations against him. The National Commission for Women (NCW) has emphasized that if police officials cannot protect their own families, it sends a dangerous signal to the community at large. Following the viral audio recordings linked to Mondal, the NCW has taken proactive steps, including sending a letter to the Director General of police, seeking clarity on the actions taken thus far. However, the response from the birbhum police has not satisfied the commission, prompting further scrutiny and calls for more stringent measures, including the addition of non-bailable charges.
As the investigation unfolds, the NWC’s insistence on accountability serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice and safety for women in India. The case not only reflects the complexities of law enforcement but also underscores the societal implications of how such cases are managed. The demand for a thorough review action report is a crucial step in ensuring that justice is not only served but is also seen to be served,fostering trust in the system.
