AGARTALA, Feb 3 (TIWN): ‘There is not a single District, Block in this country where rape is not held’, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar said during the inauguration of Women Commission’s building inauguration at Agartala to clarify the rape, molestation, dowry deaths in his state.

But this same Chief Minister & his Women Commission is utter silent after this brutal rape incident held at Adarini Tea Garden at Agartala on the occasion of Saraswati Puja.

Out of 6 accused police only arrested 3 and rest of them were released after some inquiries held by women PS.

Whereas Tripura has become the den for rapists and there would be hardly any day when women are not victimized here either its rape or any other issue DGM K Nagraj is now a days busy in showing eye-dazzling data on 'decreasing' Crime-rate in Tripura.

According to Nagraj press release, “……….During this year, the total overall registration of crimes against women has come down to 977 cases as against 1221 in 2015 and 1531 cases in 2014.  Cases related to torture upon women by husband or relatives of husband, has come down to 410 cases as against 466 in 2015 and 665 cases in 2014. Dowry death cases have come down to 15 as against 27 in 2015 and 35 cases in 2014. Rape cases have come down to 189 during this year as against 197 in 2015 and 225 in 2014. Molestation cases have come down to 202 as against 323 in 2015 and 437 in 2014. Elopement cases have come down to 10 as against 110 in 2015 but marginally increased as compared to 2015 (93 cases). Under remaining heads, it has come down to 55 cases during this year as against 98 in 2015 and 76 in 2014”.

But as per the Govt data released recently, it was said that 25 % cases are unregistered (i.e. police do not take the cases), and 25 % cases only can end with proper justice. That means around 75 % of the registered and unregistered cases are dumped under files without proper investigation.

In this condition, the rape incidents increasing day by day but police is relaxed to take these issues seriously resulting increasing crime against women.
