Women in West Bengal are apparently not safe under the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamul Congress government. The National Commission for Women, in a report released on Tuesday, stated that the state has “recorded the second highest number of rape case in the country and the rate of increase in reported cases is twice the national average”.
Ms Banerjee, who has been raising her voice against the so-called “terror” during the years of Left Front rule, has also been criticised for “transferring officers who have cracked rapes cases even before investigations were completed”.
The report was prepared by an NCW team to probe the increasing number of rape cases.
