AGARTALA: In a significant move against alleged police negligence in cases of atrocities against women, a high-level delegation of prominent social activists, led by Purabi Majumder, submitted a memorandum to the Police Headquarters (PHQ) in Agartala today. The delegation raised serious concerns regarding the “indifferent attitude” of the Teliamura Police Station in handling the FIR filed by Jyoti Acharya Chakraborty.
The Core Issue: Alleged Police Apathy
The case pertains to the reported harassment and physical/mental torture of Jyoti Acharya Chakraborty. According to the activists, despite a formal First Information Report (FIR) being lodged at the Teliamura Police Station detailing the atrocities, the local police have allegedly failed to take any decisive action against the accused.
Speaking to the media outside the Police Headquarters, Purabi Majumder expressed her outrage over the delay in justice.
“It is deeply concerning that even after a woman comes forward with a detailed complaint of torture, the Teliamura Police are sitting on the file. By not giving the FIR its due importance or making necessary arrests, the police are indirectly emboldening the culprits. We will not stand by while the dignity of a woman is compromised by administrative silence,” Purabi Majumder stated.
Demands Placed Before the PHQ
The representative team of social workers met with senior police officials at the headquarters and placed a set of urgent demands:
- Immediate Arrests: The delegation demanded the swift apprehension of the individuals named in Jyoti Acharya Chakraborty’s FIR.
- Inquiry into Negligence: An internal inquiry into why the Teliamura Police Station did not prioritize the case despite the nature of the allegations.
- Safety Measures: Ensuring adequate protection for the victim, who reportedly fears further retaliation due to the lack of police action.
Police Response
The officials at the Police Headquarters reportedly listened to the delegation’s grievances and assured them that the matter would be looked into with immediate effect. They promised to seek a status report from the Khowai District Police and the Officer-in-Charge of Teliamura PS regarding the investigation’s progress.
Rising Public Sentiment
The incident has sparked a wave of support for Jyoti Acharya Chakraborty across social media and local community groups. Activists warned that if the authorities do not show “visible progress” in the next few days, they will be forced to launch a state-wide protest to ensure the safety and rights of women in Tripura.
The delegation included several well-known voices for women’s rights, who emphasized that the “law must take its course” without political or local interference, especially in cases involving domestic or social atrocities.
