The NHRC report on #Bengalviolence

The NHRC report on #Bengalviolence
“Violence was retributive. It was in retaliation to those who "dared" to vote or support the major opposition party. Victims were helpless and hopeless due to the torture and trauma.”
NHRC says “Poor and common people have lost faith in Police. Almost all victims informed the Inquiry Committee that Police either did not respond to their phone calls or came and stood as mere spectators while goons went on a rampage from one place to another.” #BengalViolence
NHRC says “victims were implicated in false cases by the Police, or Police lodged counter cases against the victims by the accused…Police arrested victim in the counter case but dragged its feet on taking action on the victim's case, Police did nothing on complaint of victims.”
“Violent incidents have not completely stopped, even while they have reduced after the intervention of Calcutta HC orders and NHRC's spot visits…Threat calls, extortion calls and atmosphere of revenge/reprisal still exists, particularly in rural pockets.”
