Kolkata, May 14
Noting that the police failed to invoke the provisions of the Scheduled Caste Atrocities Prevention Act with regard to the incidents of atrocities against Dalits in post-poll violence, National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) chairperson Vijay Sampla has asked the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal Government to immediately dismiss and take legal action against police officers responsible for the lapse.
Sampla, who landed in Kolkata on Thursday on a two-day state tour, said had the police invoked the Scheduled Caste Atrocities Prevention Act, the displaced Dalit families would have received compensation and the district administration would have been under compulsion to provide them shelter and ration.
