On the other hand, political reaction to the Alipurduar case has begun. The opposition has raised questions over the law and order situation in the state. Issues regarding the safety of women and children were also raised.
The Alipurduar striptease incident was horrific. This ugly social crime stems from the savage instincts of local acquaintances. Accused of rape and murder of minor. It has nothing to do with general law and order. The beating of the accused by the locals was a natural reaction and should be condemned
