A law student was gang-raped at a law college in Kasba, a suburb of Kolkata, on June 25. The alleged perpetrators of the crime were a former student and two college staff members.

BJP leader Amit Malviya said that certain reports claimed the involvement of a TMC member. “The horror of RG Kar hasn’t faded, and yet such heinous crimes continue to rise daily in Bengal. Under Mamata Banerjee’s rule, West Bengal has become a nightmare for women. Rape has turned into a routine tragedy. The BJP stands with the victim and her family. We are determined to end this culture of impunity. We will not rest until every culprit is punished,” he said.

The police said three persons have been arrested in the case so far. “The incident took place inside the college on June 25 between 7:30 PM and 10:50 PM. A preliminary medical examination of the victim was conducted at CNMC, Kolkata. The witnesses were examined and their statements were recorded. The mobile phones of the three accused were seized. The accused shall be produced before the Alipore court for remand,” a police statement read.
