Kolkata: Days after
a Jadavpur University professor was beaten for circulating
'defamatory' cartoons of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata
Banerjee, a retired scientist and his daughter Tuesday alleged
they were assaulted and molested. Police said they were
investigating.
The duo also accused police of colluding with the assailants.
Aparesh Bhattacharya, 60, and his daughter, residents of Baruipur
in South 24 Parganas - 40 km from Kolkata, alleged that on Sunday
afternoon, about 30 youth from a nearby club broke into their
rented apartment, thrashed them and allegedly stripped her naked.
"They broke open the door and started beating me and my father.
They caught hold of us by the hair, dragged and threw us on the
road. They stripped me naked and would have raped me if not our
maid who took me to a distance and gave a skirt and a top to
wear," said the daughter.
"At 3 p.m. when police came we were sitting on the road in a
bleeding condition without any medical attention, money or
security. They neither took a complaint nor they took us to a
hospital," she added.
She also alleged that the police did not pay heed to her frantic
telephone calls she made during the assault.
"We have a report that Bhattacharya and his daughter have been
attacked but no FIR or complaint has been lodged by them," an
officer of Baruipur police station said.
Asked about the incident, South 24 Parganas Superintendent of
Police, Praveen Tripathi said: "The Bhattacharya's came to me and
I have instructed the sub-divisional police office to look into
the matter."
