Though govt claims transfer of Damayanti Sen, Joint Commissioner of
Police(Crime) is just a routine affair, people are not ready to buy
this argument.In view of Ms.Sen's painstaking efforts to have made a
break-through in Park Street rape case ,which Mamata Banerjee claimed
to be a concocted story to malign her govt, she should have been
allowed to continue in her present position till the investigation was
complete as the main culprit is still absconding.Instead of doing that
Ms.Sen has been transferred to a less important post at Barrackpore
.One may be afraid the on-going enquiry in the rape case might suffer
a set back because the present incumbent in Ms.Sen's post might not
dare take that initiative as Sen considering her fate.Mamata took
this decision deliberately to defy public sentiment as well a section
of press that is highly critical of some of her activities and
illogical utterances.In fact, it betrays her egoistic attitude.
It may be pointed out during Left Front regime Prasun Mukherjee, the
then Commissioner of Police had to relinquish his post under the
pressure of public and media as well in view of his unwanted remark
in Rizwanur Rahaman's death case.Incidentally, Mamata Banerjee who was
then in opposition lent her full throated support to the demand to
remove Commissioner of Police from his position.But now public
opinion to have Damayanti Sen to continue in her present position to
pusue the Park Street rape case has been more hounered in defiance by
Miss.Banerjee as a Chief minister.
However, if Damayanti sen were transferred to a post that is more
challenging than the present one, it could have been a consolation
that she's atleast received appreciation for her skill and efficiency
as a police officer.But her present posting as DIG(training) at
Barrackpore might send a wrong signal to people that she's been
tranferred to a position of lesser cosequence as she proved
Miss.Banerjee wrong in Park street rape case.
