Hours after she was tortured, the woman and the youth were allegedly made to face trial at a kangaroo court. The woman and the youth were asked to pay a fine of Rs 10,000 and Rs 50,000, respectively, local people said. We are conducting an investigation into the alleged kangaroo court as well,” Subimal Paul, additional superintendent of police (headquarters) Birbhum district, told HT on Monday afternoon. In her complaint, the woman, however, did not mention the kangaroo court. The BJP hit out at the ruling Trinamool, claiming the incident has once again exposed how unsafe women are in West Bengal.
