Sexual Harassment Case Against West Bengal Governor: Victim Moves Supreme Court

A significant development has occurred in the ongoing sexual harassment case involving West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose. The complainant, a contractual employee at the Raj Bhavan in Kolkata, has escalated the matter to the Supreme Court. She alleges that the governor inappropriately touched her on two occasions—April 24 and May 2, 2024. According to her complaint, the governor made advances under the guise of discussing her promotion, which she rejected and subsequently reported.

The case has garnered widespread attention due to the governor’s constitutional immunity under Article 361, which protects him from being prosecuted during his tenure. Despite these protections, the victim’s move to the Supreme Court underscores the severity of the allegations and the need for judicial intervention at the highest level.

Governor Bose has denied the allegations, calling them “engineered narratives” aimed at tarnishing his reputation for political gain, especially amidst the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. The Raj Bhavan issued a statement supporting the governor, asserting that disgruntled employees and political agents are behind these claims oai_citation:1,Sexual harassment case: Here’s why Bengal governor is immune to legal action | Latest News India – Hindustan Times oai_citation:2,‘Engineered narrative’: West Bengal governor denies sexual harassment allegations against him.
