"We should definitely work towards removing this stigma but again women can be a little more conscious about what they are wearing," Chiranjit told reporters at the Barasat police station where he went to inquire about the investigation into an eve teasing case.

He, however, asserted, "any act of eveteasing should be condemned and the culprit caught and punished."

Chiranjit also inquired about the progress of the case involving a youth, caught while allegedly teasing a girl and beaten up by people on a platform of Barasat railway station in North 24 Parganas district last night.

The girl, a resident of Banamalipur here, was returning from tuition when the accused Ramesh Das started teasing her.

He was caught by people on the station and assaulted . The girl's father also reached the station, the sources said.

Das was then handed over to the police, produced before a local court that remanded him to judicial custody for 14 days.
