SILIGURI, 25 APRIL: Police today arrested the accused in connection
with the sexual abuse charge made by an American woman, a resident of
Matigara. She is associated with a non-government organisation that is
engaged in providing computer training to the local children of Balsan
Colony. She has been residing there for the past six years, according to
police. The woman lodged complaint at Matigara Police Station yesterday
against one Dinesh Barman alias Jalu, a contractor, charging him with
having sexually abused her. “She is supposed to have purchased the strip
of land on which the institute is located from Dinesh. She lives in a
two-storied building. We have seen her walking with Dinesh many times. A
large number of police came here last evening. They questioned us about
Dinseh’s whereabouts. We suspected something foul, but had no idea
about what had actually happened,” said a neighbour of the woman, Mr
Manik Barman.
Asked to recount what had prodded her to lodge the
FIR, the American woman refused to say anything. She insisted that she
had informed police everything she had to say. “I cannot say anything
more,” she said. sns
