In the town of Rourkela, a disturbing incident took place on Thursday involving eight Bengali-speaking migrant workers. These workers were accused of trying to sexually assault a local woman and were consequently subjected to a humiliating and violent punishment. According to the police, the workers were stripped and paraded on Mission Road between 8:30 am and 9:00 am. This appalling act was carried out by some of the town's residents, who took the law into their own hands.
The victims, who were all from Murshidabad district in West Bengal, had been working as masons in Rourkela. It was their job that brought them to this town, but little did they know that they would be facing such a terrible ordeal. Fortunately, the police were informed by concerned citizens, and they were able to intervene and rescue the workers. The eight men were taken to the police station, where they were able to share their traumatic experience.
Brijesh Rai, the DIG of Rourkela, stated that two cases had been registered in this matter. One was against the ten individuals who had stripped, beaten, and paraded the workers, while the other was based on the woman's complaint against one of the workers. The police have launched a manhunt to apprehend those responsible for this heinous crime. Rai also mentioned that the investigations are ongoing, and no arrests have been made yet. However, the police have identified ten people who were involved in the attack on the workers.
According to the woman's police complaint, one of the workers had made an attempt to violate her modesty while she was returning home after taking a bath on Wednesday. This accusation resulted in a violent outburst from the residents, who went to the workers' house and subjected them to a brutal punishment. The workers were stripped, and their hands were tied before they were paraded in public in a semi-nude state. When the police arrived at the scene, they were met with strong resistance from the locals. Witnesses also reported that a journalist who was covering the incident was threatened by the residents.
This shocking incident has sparked outrage in the town of Rourkela. The police have promised to take swift action and bring the perpetrators to justice. It is a reminder that no one has the right to take the law into their own hands and that such acts of violence and humiliation will not be tolerated.
