Brutal Crime in Jalpaiguri: When Will Our Girls Be Safe?

A deeply disturbing and shameful incident has come to light from a tea garden under Mal block in Jalpaiguri district, West Bengal. A 55-year-old man has been accused of raping a 12-year-old tribal girl. Fortunately, local residents acted swiftly, rescuing the minor and ensuring she received immediate medical treatment at the district hospital. For her safety, the child has now been placed in the district home. Tragically, such horrific acts are not isolated incidents. In tribal-dominated regions, cases of violence against women and minors continue to rise — yet the enforcement of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and other stringent legal provisions remains alarmingly rare. This young girl belongs to our tribal community. Justice must not be delayed. The accused must be given the strictest possible punishment under the law — not only for the survivor's dignity but to set a strong precedent and ensure the safety of every girl in our society. This is not just about one case. It is about systemic failure and the urgent need for accountability. Let this be the last. Let justice be swift. Let it be strong.
