The Left Democratic Front (LDF) has raised serious concerns regarding the handling of a case registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The political alliance alleges that a coordinated effort between law enforcement and prosecution departments enabled the accused to evade arrest.
