North 24 Parganas (West Bengal) [India], June 28 (ANI): Nearly a year after the horrific RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape and murder case that jolted Kolkata, another gang rape of a student at a law college in South Kolkata has once again raised concern over safety of women in the City of Joy.
The father of the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape and murder victim spoke out against the alleged gangrape case in Kolkata’s law college, expressing his frustration and disappointment with the recurring incidents of violence. He accused the government of having a significant role to play in preventing such incidents and that the accused should be severely punished.
He said, “Such incidents are happening again and again. After what happened with my daughter, many people came out on the streets in protest. Even after that, such incidents continue to occur. People inside the college are committing such incidents. The government has a significant role in this, which is why all these incidents are happening. All three people arrested are from the TMC, so this political party should ensure that such incidents do not happen again. The accused should be severely punished.”
BJP West Bengal in a post on X alleged that the full form of TMC was Terror, Molester and Corruption.

Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Shashi Panja on Friday expressed her distress over the gang rape of the student.
Addressing a press conference, Shashi Panja said, “There was an immediate postmortem and dissection to look at the names and the religion. You have to condemn the incident. You are now trying to show photographs. Trinamool Congress Student wing is not teaching the students to rape. The police took immediate action, and within 12 hours of the complaint, three people were caught. They are in custody, and the investigation is on. Their mobile phones have been seized, and the victim’s statement has been taken. She has named the accused. It has been taken seriously. The BJP cannot even think the way Kolkata police swung into action. They started maligning since such swift action is missing in the BJP-ruled states. If they want to be in Bengal as a responsible Opposition, then they have to behave responsibly.”
