Agartala, Oct 13 (TIWN): The victim of Chandrapur incident- Soma Majumder (Debnath) today appeared before the Chief Judicial Magistrate’s (CJM) Court. According the sources inside court, the CJM has recorded the statement of the victim. While giving her statement, Soma explained the incident took place on the eve of Laxmi puja. The police have submitted the Case Diary (CD) before the CJM.

Under the immense pressure, created by public, media and different political organizations, the police had finally added the non-bailable sections 354(B) for outrage of modesty, 394 for robbery and 109 abetment of Indian Penal Code (IPC) against all the 18 FIR named accused persons.

There have been allegations against that police not giving importance to the case right from the beginning. However, police had to retreat after uproar by political parties mainly Congress and Mahila Congress.

On the eve of Laxmi puja, Soma Majumder was barbarically tortured by allegedly the cadres of ruling front at Tata Kalibari area of Chandrapur under East Agartala police station. On the same evening, the victim had logged an FIR against 18 persons in this regard at East Agartala police station but all the accused persons were granted bail at police station itself.

In addition, while the Congress would inform the National Commission Human Rights (NCHR) about the gruesome incident, the Mahila Congress would take up the issue with the National Commission for Women soon.
