The Left Democratic Front says a collusion between police and prosecutors allowed a child‑sex abuse suspect to evade arrest.
The Left Democratic Front (LDF) has publicly alleged that a nexus between the police and the prosecution helped an accused in a POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) case avoid being taken into custody.
According to the coalition, the alleged coordination enabled the suspect to remain at large despite the seriousness of the charges under the child‑protection law.
LDF leaders demanded an immediate, independent inquiry into the matter, urging senior officials to ensure that law‑enforcement agencies act without bias and that the accused faces the legal process.
As of now, no official response from the police or the prosecuting authority has been recorded, and the case remains under scrutiny.
