Outrage Erupts as Digboi SI Investigated for Alleged Cover-Up in Shocking RSS Obscene Video Scandal

Sub-Inspector Under Scrutiny for Allegedly Shielding RSS Member Accused of Posting Obscene Video

Digboi, Sept 11: A sub-inspector from Digboi Police Station has been placed under reserve close following allegations of shielding an RSS member accused of posting an obscene video of a minor girl. The controversy, originating in June, has brought the police force’s credibility into question.

The issue began when the victim’s family filed a First Information Report (FIR) against Rahul Tanti, an RSS member, in June. Reports suggest Sub-Inspector Saikia concealed the FIR, and within days, the victim’s family faced pressure to negotiate a settlement by July 1. The accused’s father, a local Gaon Burha, allegedly influenced the family to withdraw the FIR, reportedly with Saikia accepting a substantial bribe to protect Tanti.

The controversy reignited when Tanti resumed harassing the victim, posting another obscene video online. This led the victim’s family to lodge a fresh FIR on September 9, resulting in Tanti’s arrest. The arrest has prompted questions about the police’s initial inaction.

Saikia’s involvement is under scrutiny, particularly given Tanti’s elder brother’s status as a BJP ward member of the Panikhowa panchayat. Speculations arise about whether Tanti’s political connections affected the case’s handling.

This incident casts a shadow over the police force’s integrity, particularly as Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma advocates for greater transparency and fairness in law enforcement. The case underscores the need for diligent and unbiased police conduct, especially in politically sensitive scenarios.
