NCW Urges Swift Action in Case of Viral Audio Abuse Scandal

The National Commission for Women (NCW) has castigated the Birbhum district police for submitting a 'grossly inadequate' action taken report in relation to the case involving Trinamool Congress leader Anubrata Mondal, who allegedly verbalized 'filthy, unspeakable abuses' at a police officer in a widespread audio recording.

In a strongly articulated second letter sent to the Birbhum Superintendent of Police on Tuesday, the commission aired 'serious dissatisfaction' with the police's response and ordered the district authorities to provide a revised action taken report within five working days.

The letter, penned by NCW member Archana Majumdar, highlighted numerous procedural inconsistencies and urged the necessity for a custodial investigation, noting that the elite cannot receive preferential treatment under the law.
