On one hand, there is very little progress in the henious Guwahati minor girl molestation case, on the other hand, the victim is subjected to further embarrassment with National Commission for Women (NCW) releasing her photograph and name.

After seven days the incident happened, only 11 arrests have taken place out of 40 peoplein the case, while the main suspect, Amar Jyoti Kalita, spotted in a red jersey in the video of the incident, is still absconding. Police sources had said that Amar Jyoti Kalita might have fled to Odisha, and a search was on in Odisha. The latest arrest came hours after Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi's 48-hour deadline to nab the culprits ended.

Meanwhile, after the NCW sacked its member Alka Lamba for revealing the victim's identity, the Assam government repeated a similar blunder. The Department of Information and Public Relations released the name of the victim and photographs of her meeting Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Monday - a clear violation of the law that says a victim's identity must always be protected and withheld. The state government later requested the media to not carry the photograph or the name of the victim.

This happened even as NCW Chairperson Mamta Sharma apologised to the girl and her family for the lapse in discretion on part of its probe team member Alka Lamba, who has been sacked. Notably, the NCW was slated to submit its report by 2 pm on Monday, but it got delayed because of the faux pas on the part of the panel member. The NCW member had even defended naming the victim, pointing that the report was not complete. A three-member NCW team had visited Guwahati and met the victim on Saturday. They had blamed the police for reacting late in trying to save the girl.
