Meanwhile, the incident is being investigated by a high-power committee, said a BSF officer. “We urged the woman to file a police complaint. The inspector has been suspended. A high-power committee is looking into the matter,” a senior BSF officer from the South Bengal Frontier headquarters in Kolkata said.
The rape survivor was initially taken to a health center in Nadia. From there, she was shifted to a state-run hospital in Kolkata on Monday, said a Kolkata police officer. “She is undergoing treatment. Doctors said her condition is stable,” the officer added.
According to a police officer, the woman’s complaint has been recorded by officers at the Bhawanipore police station and a probe into the matter has been launched.
