KOLKATA: The cyber crime section of Kolkata Police will probe athlete Pinki Pramanik MMS case. As a part of the investigation, a police team is expected to visit Pinki on Saturday.
Soon after Pinki's arrest on June 14, an MMS clip of the athlete in nude went viral on the net. It was also circulated on the mobile phones. Following this two advocates had filed a public interest litigation at Calcutta High Court to investigate into the crime.
Pinki was arrested after a woman companion alleged that the former Asian Games gold medallist was a man and slapped rape charges on her. She was released her on July 10 after spending 25 days in prison. Railways had suspended the middle distance runner from her ticket checker's job after the arrest.
A team from Association for Protection of Democratic Rights (APDR) visited the athlete at her Teghoria home on Thursday. APDR is one of the organisations that first came to the aid of Pinki, raising the issue of violation of her human rights and approached the West Bengal Human Rights Commission (WBHRC) on it.
"Pinki is still traumatised. The WBHRC has called Pinki to its office on August 7 to hear the athlete's plight. This shows the commission's seriousness on issues of human rights violation. We welcome the move. We also demand immediate revocation of Pinki's suspension from the railway job," said Ranjit Sur of APDR.
