Overview

• Mondal appeared before the SDPO in Bolpur on June 5 after evading two earlier summons by citing health issues and a week-long medical certificate.
• The Birbhum police registered an FIR under Sections 222, 132, 75 and 351 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, covering threats, assault on a public servant, sexual harassment and criminal intimidation.
• Investigators confiscated two phones belonging to Inspector Liton Halder for forensic testing, while Mondal’s mobile device remains untouched.
• During a roughly two-hour interrogation, Mondal told officers he could not recall if he used abusive language against the inspector, blaming medication and health problems.
• The National Commission for Women has asked the West Bengal DGP for a report on police action within 72 hours, and the BJP has called a June 9 rally in Birbhum demanding Mondal’s arrest.
