Kamarhati, July 9, 2024 – A shocking video has emerged from Taltala Club in Kamarhati, depicting a brutal assault on a young girl by Jayanta Singh, a close associate of Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA Madan Mitra. The graphic footage, which has gone viral on social media, has ignited widespread condemnation and calls for immediate action against the perpetrator.
The video shows Singh violently attacking the girl, leaving onlookers and viewers horrified by the sheer brutality of the act. Eyewitnesses reported that Singh’s assault was unprovoked and relentless, with the girl being left severely injured and traumatized.
The incident has sparked a wave of outrage across the state, with citizens, activists, and opposition parties condemning the violence. Critics have pointed out the irony and hypocrisy of such an incident occurring under the governance of a party that frequently touts its commitment to women’s rights and safety.
Prominent women’s rights activist Shalini Mukherjee stated, “This heinous act is a disgrace to humanity and a stark reminder of the deep-seated issues of violence against women that continue to plague our society. The government must take swift and decisive action to ensure justice for the victim.”
In response to the video, the TMC leadership has issued a statement condemning the attack and assuring the public that the matter will be thoroughly investigated. “We are deeply disturbed by the incident and assure that strict action will be taken against those involved. Our commitment to women’s safety and rights is unwavering,” the statement read.
However, opposition leaders have criticized the TMC for what they perceive as a pattern of impunity for associates and members involved in criminal activities. “This is not an isolated incident. It reflects the culture of lawlessness and protection that certain individuals enjoy under the current regime,” said BJP spokesperson Anupam Sharma.
As the video continues to circulate, calls for justice grow louder. The girl’s family has demanded immediate arrest and prosecution of Jayanta Singh, expressing their anguish and disbelief over the incident.
The police have reportedly launched an investigation into the assault, with assurances of a fair and transparent process. The incident has also prompted discussions on the need for more robust mechanisms to protect women and ensure accountability for acts of violence.
This shocking act of brutality serves as a grim reminder of the ongoing struggle for women’s safety and the urgent need for systemic change. The public’s response and the subsequent actions taken by authorities will be closely watched in the coming days.
