While talking to the media on Sunday, she said, "Mere candle light marches and tall claims will not help the soldiers' kin survive. In September 2014, one CoBRA jawan Bikash Sutradhar died in a Maoist attack in Chekam jungle. Deputy commandant of CRPF Alok Kumar also got seriously injured in the attack. I remember that at that time, CM of West Bengal promised to give ₹2 lakhs and a job to his family. However, nothing has matured till date."

Commenting on the CBI versus Kolkata police row, she said that the West Bengal Police was lying that they were being colluded in false cases. She blamed the ruling Trinamool Congress for the entire episode.

Intro:New Delhi: Former Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, who has recently joined Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Bharati Ghosh demanded that Martyred Jawans should not just get "reasonable compensation" but "respectable compensations".

Body:While speaking to the media, she said, "Mere candle lights and big words will not carry the families through. In September 2014, one CoBRA Jawan by the name of Bikash Sutradhar died in Maoist attack in Chekam jungle. Deputy commandant of CRPF, Alok Kumar also got seriously injured in this attack. I remember at that time, Chief Minister of Bengal promised to give Rs 2 lakhs and a job to his family. Nothing has matured till date."

Along with this, she also alleged the West Bengal Police by saying that they are being colluded with charge-sheeted criminals to lodge FIRs against her in false cases. She blamed West Bengal’s ruling party, the Trinamool Congress over these actions. However, she also said that she has got some documents which can support her case in the Supreme Court.

Conclusion:"From one full year I've been out of Bengal. My family has been threatened, victimised but now, we've got some documents. I can't talk much about the case as it is sub judice. But I'm quoting the fact, criminals are being called by police officers to Lodge complaint against me. However, the police officers are being completely unknown to these criminals and history sheeters. Political leaders escorted these criminals from the court if they agree to charge a complaint against me. They also made fabricated documents with the help and assistance of the police officers. People have been tapped, influenced and then they are being brought as witnesses of the case," she explained.
