Shockwaves in Kolkata: Law College Becomes Crime Scene
A shocking crime has emerged from the heart of Kolkata’s education hub. A student of a prominent law college has accused three individuals — including a non-teaching staff member — of raping her inside the college premises. The survivor, who had enrolled in the college to pursue her legal aspirations, faced the unthinkable betrayal within an institution meant to uphold justice.
Details of the Incident
According to police sources, the survivor filed a complaint alleging she was lured into a secluded area of the college premises and assaulted. The college authorities reportedly delayed action until the local police intervened. Swift investigation led to the arrest of the accused trio, who are now in custody and being interrogated.
Authorities Respond
Following media outrage and student protests, the college administration has promised full cooperation with the police. A special internal inquiry committee has also been formed. Meanwhile, the college remains under high alert with increased security deployment.
Voices of Protest and Solidarity
Student unions, women’s rights groups, and civil society members have condemned the heinous act and criticized the institution’s initial inaction. “Educational institutions must be safe spaces. This is a systemic failure,” said a representative from a local student body.
Legal Action Ahead
The accused face charges under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, including rape and criminal conspiracy. The West Bengal Women’s Commission has also taken cognizance of the matter and demanded weekly updates on the investigation from the authorities.
