Horrific details of alleged gangrape have emerged after multiple women from West Bengal, including a minor girl, moved the Supreme Court, seeking a detailed probe into incidents of violence in the state during and after the recently held assembly election.
With the Supreme Court hearing petitions seeking an SIT probe into post-poll violence in Bengal, several intervention pleas have been moved by women who were allegedly attacked and gang-raped by workers of the ruling TMC.
In their pleas before the Supreme Court, these women have also sought a court-monitored CBI/SIT investigation into their cases.
Three separate applications have been filed in the Supreme Court seeking a SIT probe into sexual violence in the state. One of the applicants, a 60-year-old woman, revealed horrific details in her application.
In her plea, the 60-year-old Bengal woman has alleged that she was gang-raped in front of her six-year-old grandson, while her daughter-in-law was beaten up.
The woman claimed that after the horrific attack, which took place "in retaliation" against her family members who supported a different political party, the police initially refused to register an FIR.
She alleged that while historically there have been instances of "rape being employed to terrorise the enemy civilian population" during a war, it was being used in the state to "punish" those who support the party not in power.
