Calcutta, April, 6 :    Calcutta, April, 6:  They went, they pleaded, they came back empty-handed. For the third time in three weeks, the police made a move to pick up Monalisa, accused of 'sexually torturing' two fellow-inmates at the Liluah Home for Destitute Women, on Friday morning. The two teenage girls had attempted suicide recently, and blamed Monalisa and her gang for pushing them to the brink with sustained abuse. The Howrah sub-divisional judicial magistrate had taken cognisance of the complaint and ordered the police to produce the accused before the court. At 11 am on Friday, a deputy magistrate, a district social welfare officer and other officials accompanied a police possé to the gates of the Liluah home. But in an action replay of the previous two occasions, Monalisa was ready for the cops. She and her followers bolted the doors of their cell from within and refused to respond to the request of the police party to accompany them to court. The officials waited for over an hour, taking turns to plead with the inmates to cooperate with them. But there was moving Monalisa. 'Go back... I won't open the door,' hollered the 20-year-old from behind closed doors. Deciding to play it safe rather than force the issue, the officials beat a retreat around 12.30 pm. 'The SDJM has ordered that Monalisa be produced before the court. Unless the court says that she should be arrested, the police cannot force the inmate to accompany us out of the home,' explained a senior police official. The cops are clearly handling this case with extra care, as any disturbance caused by them in the women's home can lead to further complications for the force. The Howrah district administration has, however, taken up the matter on a directive from the state social welfare department. The department has asked the district administration to submit a report on the case, reported in Metro last week, 'as soon as possible'. Sunil Gupta, district magistrate of Howrah, said that an official of deputy magistrate rank has been asked to look into the matter. 'We are taking this matter very seriously. I have ordered deputy magistrate M.N. Bishu to probe the matter and submit his report soon,' added Gupta. On Friday, Bishu led a team, comprising district social welfare officer Dolly Pal and district project officer Manoj Dey, to inspect the home. A group of policemen followed. Bishu, who had gone there to try and interrogate Monalisa, drew a blank. 'I won't answer your questions. Go back. I won't come out,' she shouted back at the deputy magistrate. Reba Das, home superintendent, voiced helplessness. 'We have tried our best to make Monalisa understand. But our requests have absolutely no effect on her,' she confessed. With Monalisa refusing to comply with the court order, the fate of the two victims of her alleged torture - who have been shifted from the rescue section to an observation cell - remains shrouded in uncertainty.
