It’s almost a year since a pregnant Adivasi woman was allegedly raped by security forces in Bastar, Chhattisgarh, and over nine months since the National Commission for Women and the National Human Rights Commission began sending notices to the Chhattisgarh police, asking for an Action Taken Report in the case. Adivasis from the region had also accused the police of extortion and illegal detention, as reported by Newslaundry in January 2019.
The police finally responded in August.
