Police have registered a case towards unidentified members of the CRPF after it was alleged that lady college students of a authorities residential college at Palnar in Dantewada have been inappropriately touched. The alleged incident occurred on July 31. A five-member district-level committee was constituted to look into the committee, after which a case was registered on Monday. Senior district officers informed The Indian Express that the incident occurred on the sidelines of a Raksha Bandhan program organized by the CRPF on the women’ hostel. “This Raksha Bandhan program is being held for the past four years, where students tie rakhis on the personnel. This year it was held in collaboration with a media channel,” a district official mentioned.
Abhishek Pallava, Additional SP (Dantewada), mentioned, “The allegation is that some girls went to the toilet during the programme. Two men in uniform met them and said they were to be frisked. One person then touched them. The children told their principal, and a case was registered under Section 354 IPC and POCSO. Once we get statements recorded under Section 164, more sections could be added.” Dantewada Collector Saurabh Kumar mentioned, “If true, stern action will be taken after identification. I met the girls and ordered a five-member panel inquiry. A case has been registered.”
“The ones are critical. The investigation needs to be executed sensibly as a result of the CRPF camp and the hostel are shut to one another. While some components could also be like this, belief should not be damaged,” an officer mentioned. AAP tribal chief Soni Sori alleged that the district administration and the police have been hushing up the matter and that she was not allowed to satisfy the scholars or the hostel workers.
