Pinki Pramanik and controversies around

Pinki Pramanik who won many medals in games and Gold medal in Asian games as track athlete was arrested on 14 June 2012 after accusation of rape. Charges were made that she had hidden her gender identity and she was a male. MMS was also came in being which alleges that she is a male. Every one was shocked after such an incident. This is first such case of its kind.
Police arrested and send her to Dum Dum jail. A committee of expert were formed for her gender representation. The expert were doctors of SSKM hospital. Karyotyping test was conducted to cheak whether she was male or female. The report said that she was neither male nor female. 


The Barasat Court granted bail on 10 July 2012 saying that she cannot rape. Pinki was released from Jail on 11 July 2012.


Role of media and others:-
The local media played a dual role. They first favored the lady who framed charges against Pinki and after court order they started favoring the athlete. The print media along with display media came in full support of Pinki and alleged that Govt of West Bengal and sports minister had not taken any steps only after she released. 

Role of human right organisation:-

Human right organisation also played a dramatic role soon after the release of Pinki. They alleged sport minister for remaining silent and also blamed the police for ill treatment of the athlete.

In my view:-

It is good to see that media and human right activists are so active. They say only when the person is safe. The media person and human right activists are blaming Govt and Sports minister but they even do not know that a person charged with rape cannot be freed by Minister or Govt, the accused person have to move to court only for redressal of his grievances. The police was also not to be blames as they did what was according to law. However gender misrepresentation led police confuse and they had no women constable with them while arresting Pinki.

Also none have moved to court for favoring Pinki before she was released saying that she had kept in male ward or jail or something like this.

All(Media and Human rights) have come after the case was clear, court order favoring Pinki had came and she was released on bail.

The double behavior of these two responsible organisation always confuses Indian people.

The case was still on and let's see what happens next.

We must not forget that "Truth always Triumphs"
