DHARMANAGAR, March 15 (TIWN) : FIR has been lodged against Pratap Debnath, S/O-Sudhungshu Debanth for raping a minor girl at Dharmanagar.

The case number against the accused is : US:-376(2)(i) IPC 4 of PCSO Act. 2012. The age of the victim is presently 15 years, whereas the boy is of 22 year old.

Reportedly, Pratap Debnath, resident of Haflong Sripur, Ward No-6 was in relation with a minor girl and due to the intimacy of their relation since years, the girl became pregnant.

After that Pratap denied to marry the girl and as a result, she has given birth to a child on Monday.

It’s to be mentioned here that Tripura gradually emerging as the most unsafe place for the women. Every day the number of crime incidents upon women are increasing alarmingly.

Dulal Ch. Das has filed a complaint against the accused for raping her daughter.

When the crimes against women had already taken a top most position in Tripura, the state govt. has taken certain steps to curb it, like recruitment of more women police and setting up more women police station.

But all these seem to have bowed down in front of the increasing rate of crimes against women in Tripura.

Therefore, organising seminars, workshops and awareness camp and recruiting more women police on curbing the rising crimes against women must not be enough here in the state at present because the way it has taken a giant shape, it is possible to curb the crimes related to women only when the police awake from their sleep and takes necessary steps against the accused.
