The attack comes days after the researcher accompanied an NHRC team to record the statements of rape and sexual assault survivors who have filed FIRs against police personnel.

Days after the Bastar-based academic and researcher Bela Bhatia accompanied a National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) team to record the statements of rape and sexual assault survivors who have filed FIRs against police personnel, she was attacked by a group of individuals at her house in Parpa village, just outside Chhattisgarh’s Jagdalpur, on Monday morning.

Approximately 30 people arrived in a four-wheeler vehicle and some motorcycles, and threatened that they would burn down Bhatia’s house and kill her dog if she did not leave Bastar immediately, Bhatia has said. The group also allegedly barged into her house and threatened her landlady with dire consequences if she allowed Bhatia to stay.

When Bhatia managed to call the Bastar collector Amit Kataria, the police arrived half an hour later but did little to control the belligerent mob. Bhatia said that throughout the attack, the village sarpanch was watching.

In the face of such intimidation, Bhatia agreed to leave the house in 24 hours. The mob also forced the landlady and Bhatia to sign a declaration saying that she would leave the house in front of the police, she said.

In a note that she circulated on WhatsApp, Bhatia said that her landlord and his sons were called to the local thana on Sunday and told that they must ensure that Bhatia leaves the house immediately.
