An inquiry by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) into allegations of human rights violations in Sandeshkhali, West Bengal, has brought forward serious concerns including sexual exploitation and other forms of abuse

The details: NHRC's report revealed atrocities including the gang **** of women at TMC office premises and accuses TMC leaders of perpetrating these acts, with some women being advised by police to "compromise" with the accused rather than file complaints.

The fact that West Bengal police tried to silence the victims is more alarming, highlighting how the state government is weaponizing its police force.

Data from January 2023 to February 2024 revealed that three minor girls and 37 young adult women are untraceable as "missing female victims".
