Pinki freed, says she was victim of conspiracy
Clean Media Correspondent
Kolkata, July 12 (CMC) Asian Games Gold Medallist athlete Pinki Pramanik who was accused of being a male and committing rape, after her release from a West Bengal jail on Wednesday alleged that she was subjected to police harassment and said that everything was ‘pre-planned’ and was the victim of bigger conspiracy.
"They (Police) tied my hands and legs and took me to a private nursing home for the tests. I kept on crying and resisted but nobody listened to me," the retired middle distance runner after her release from the Dum Dum Central Jail told reporters. “Even Sita Mai had to give agnipariksha (test by fire). So, I thought I was also undergoing an agniparksha," she said.
Pinki, who broke down while speaking to reporters, said that she would talk to her lawyer first. When asked whether she has been a part of a conspiracy, the ace athlete said, “An MMS clip of my medical examination, showing me in the nude, went viral online. All was pre-planned”. "I was framed. She (the complainant) used to do my chores. She had demanded money from me long back, but I did not give. So, all this was done in connivance with the police," she said. “However this is not the right time to say all these things and moreover now things have gone far beyond giving clarification,” she added.
Pinki who was arrested on June 14 was initially tested at Barasat district hospital but as the tests remain inconclusive she was later referred to SSKM hospital where an 11 member medical board consisting doctors from several departments conducted several tests but failing to come to any conclusion sent her blood sample for Karyotyping. Pramanik, however, claimed innocence and said it was a conspiracy.
However based on her medical reports the district and sessions judge (North 24 Parganas) on Tuesday granted bail to the athlete mentioning that as, neither male nor female organ was found so she is physically incapable of committing rape.
Pramanik, who retired from athletics three years ago, won gold in the 4x400 metres relay at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha in Qatar. The runner was a silver medallist at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games the same year.
The Eastern Railway, with which the athlete is a ticket collector, suspended Pramanik on June 16 following her remand in the judicial custody.
