Agitating students said, “A patriarchal society lead Rape culture. We have seen whenever a rape happens, sooner or later the rape victim’s is judged and this is nothing but reflection of the Patriarchy. Govt must give protection to us. It is a disgusting trend that whenever a rape takes place, people question the victim and recently a school teacher of Netaji Vidyaniketan has said similar when a molestation case came in that school. So we have to protest against this total rape culture result of male dominated society. She is victim because something wrong happened to her”. The horrifying gang-rape incident of a 32 years old woman by 10 men in the capital city Agartala which recently has shaken Tripura led suspension of at least Police officials for ‘not’ lodging FIR into the matter when the victim family complained about the brutal incident in multiple police stations of the city.

The victim family alleged that at first went to AD Nagar PS, the NCC PS, the West Agartala PS, then West Women PS but no police station lodged FIR. When she was admitted in TMC hospital, the news spread and then East Women PS lodged FIR.

The auto driver Pradip was known to her and often she hires it. On Sep 24, when she was returning from GB hospital due to rain, she called that auto driver for life and almost after half an hour he reached.

When the auto was expected to go to Arundhuti Nagar (victim’s home) and driver Pradip took the auto towards Nehru park. When she asked, the driver said, a person will give him money and he just need 5 minutes but as soon as the driver reached near Nehru park and called someone in phoned named Santu.
