A deeply disturbing case of gang rape has sent shockwaves across Kolkata, as a law college student was allegedly assaulted within the premises of the college itself.
According to police officials, the incident came to light after the victim lodged a formal complaint. Acting swiftly, authorities arrested three individuals in connection with the crime. The court has since remanded the accused into police custody for a period of five days for further investigation.
Sources within the police department confirmed that mobile phones belonging to all three suspects have been seized as part of the inquiry. Notably, one of the accused is reported to be a leader affiliated with the student wing of the ruling Trinamool Congress, adding a political dimension to the already grave incident.
This incident comes as a chilling reminder of an earlier tragedy. On August 9, 2024, a female doctor from R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital was raped and murdered in Kolkata, sparking national outrage and widespread protests.
The latest case has once again raised serious concerns about women's safety in educational institutions and the accountability of political student organizations. Law enforcement authorities have assured the public that a thorough and impartial investigation will be carried out.
