          Patna,(BiharTimes): Though the main accused in the teenaged girl   gangrape case, Prashant Jha, surrendered in Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) on   Thursday a large number of people, mostly women, sat on a day-long dharna near   Kargil Chowk to protest the heinous crime and alleged attempt to shield the   culprits. Women   groups under the banner of Mahila Atyachor Virodhi Sangharsh Morcha organized   the sit-in.  |  Speaking   to BiharTimes the leading light of the Morcha, Kanchan Bala, accused the state   government machinery of suppressing the fact for full one and a half   months. She asked   as to why the then Patna SP Kim was transferred out of Patna the day a meeting   was held at the Shashtrinagar Police Station to discuss the incident. She said   that after Kim was provided the CD she had visited the school where the boy   studied. Kanchan   Bala asked the people wanted to know whether Kim’s transfer came as a   punishment.  She   questioned if a senior officer like City SP had already carried out an   investigation, why a junior officer, DSP Law and Order, had been handed over the   investigation. These questions raise doubts about the government’s   intention. On the   other hand Manju Dundung of Ekta Parishad said that some persons are directly   involved in the incident whereas many others indirectly. They all should be   arrested. It should be probed how innocent girls are being trapped to make MMS.   She said that even school administration should be   questioned. However,   reports now said that the then SP Kim had the CD with her and was believed to   have been forced by high ups to drop the case for next four days nothing   happened. Her sudden transfer at this point certainly raises   questions. While, a   member of the Bihar Women’s Commission, Chandramukhi Devi––although after much   delay––showed some interest in the case its chairperson, Kahkashan Parween, has   maintained low profile and had not said anything on the   issue.
