The Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, urged the women of the state to help the police. She asked women to help the police identify fake videos and misinformation that contribute to increasing criminal activity. The CM emphasized that those who assist the police in identifying and arresting criminals will receive rewards or job opportunities.
Chief Minister Banerjee inaugurated Durga Puja at Kolkata Police guard lines on Sunday. During this, she said that whenever you see the misinformation being spread, I entrust you ladies with the responsibility to take to Facebook and X, flag those pictures as ‘fake’ and send them to the police cyber crime unit. I recommend you join.
CM Banerjee further said that you (women) are the real stars. You understand the company better. I instruct the police to give a reward of 100 rupees to those women who help in the identification and arrest of criminals, and they can also be considered for job opportunities. You manage things both at home and in the community.
On the occasion of Durga Puja, CM Mamata Banerjee has expressed her desire for more women to join the police force. According to him, ‘today we have more women in the police than a few years ago. In the future, even more women will be included in the ‘WINNER’ initiative. I want to see more women in the police.
SI harasses civilian volunteer at Kolkata police station
On one hand, CM Mamata Banerjee is calling on women to help the police to reduce the rising crime. On the other hand, a civilian police volunteer was allegedly sexually harassed by a sub-inspector at the Park Street police station in Kolkata. However, following the allegation, a departmental inquiry was initiated against the SI.
The alleged incident took place around 1:10 am on October 5, when the woman civilian volunteer was called by the accused SI to the fourth-floor toilet of the police station, an official said on Sunday. The accused officer allegedly molested her on the pretext of gifting her clothes for Durga Puja, the officer said. The officer said the woman had worked at the Park Street police station since she was appointed as a civilian volunteer in 2017.
The woman told reporters that she had sent her complaint to the Kolkata police headquarters in Lalbazar as well as the DC South office after the officials at the Park Street police station refused to accept her complaint.
