A team of the National Commission for Women (NCW) will arrive in West Bengal next week to conduct an independent probe into the series of alleged rapes being reported from across the State.

The three-member panel, headed by NCW member Wansuk Syiem, will includes member-secretary Anita Agnihotri and member Nirmala Sawant Prabhalkar, an NCW official told The Hindu over phone from New Delhi on Friday.

The panel had taken suo motu cognisance of reports of a physically challenged teenage girl's alleged rape by a junior doctor at a government hospital in Bankura district.

The 19-year-old's family claimed that she was found unconscious and without her clothes in the medicine department of the Bankura Sammilani Medical College and Hospital on February 27. The NCW has also taken note of other reported incidents and expressed concerns over rising sexual assault cases in the State. The rape of 37-year-old mother of two in February followed by comments by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee that the incident had been “staged” to malign her government had drawn the ire of activists across the State.

Soon after the incident was reported, the complaints of several other victims, including minors, received wide coverage in the Press and on local TV channels.
