Why no arrest in sexual assault case, Maneka asks Kolkata DGP
New Delhi, July 12 : Union Minister Maneka Gandhi on Thursday expressed her concern over the non-arrest of the accused involved in the sexual assault of a two-year-old boy at a play-school in Kolkata.
"I have spoken to the DGP Kolkata about the case and expressed my displeasure that they have not been able to arrest the accused when a play-school has very limited number of employees. I have requested him to ensure that immediate action is taken to arrest the accused," the Women and Child Development minister tweeted.
The minister said it was shocking for her to know that the incident happened at the play-school, which is run by the well known Mount Litera group of institutions.
The incident happened last week in Diamond Harbour, Kolkata. The victim's father found the private part of his son was bleeding after he returned home from school on July 2 and filed a complaint with the police.

AIMPLB criticises JPC's approach on Waqf Amendment Bill, calls for adherence to guidelines
New Delhi: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has raised serious concerns over alleged procedural violations by the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) reviewing the Waqf Amendment Bill 2024. AIMPLB spokesperson Dr. SQR Ilyas criticised the JPC's approach, describing it as a "transgression of principles" and a breach of constitutional norms.
Dr. Ilyas stated that the JPC should limit consultations to stakeholders directly associated with Waqf matters. However, he claimed the committee is seeking input from organisations that lack relevance, including Central Ministries, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), and groups aligned with the RSS.
In recent developments, six opposition members wrote to the Lok Sabha Speaker, expressing dissatisfaction with JPC Chairperson Jagdambika Pal’s conduct, which they allege has hindered fair discussions. This follows an earlier letter by opposition members condemning the chairman's behaviour.
The AIMPLB has demanded that the committee consider objections from AIMPLB and other recognised Muslim organisations, while excluding entities unrelated to Waqf issues. It also urged the JPC to refrain from rushing its report and to follow due process, ensuring thorough debate among members before submission.
