Rape remark: Calcutta HC orders FIR against Tapas Paul
Kolkata, July 28 (IBNS): The Calcutta High Court on Monday ordered the filing of a First Information Report (FIR) against Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Tapas Paul for his controversial remark against women.
The court also directed Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to probe the case.
The FIR has to be filed within 72 hours, the court directed.
This comes after Paul, while speaking in a village, threatened the opposition Communist Party of India (Marxist) women with rape by his boys.
In another video, Paul urged villagers to keep sharp weapons with them in order to "kill" CPI-M workers.
"No CPI-M workers should stay here. If they come here, be ready with an axe or big knife and kill them. I will see who puts you behind the bars," Paul was seen in a video urging villagers in Nadia district of West Bengal.
His remarks led to huge protests by women groups and other party workers.
