The law college student was allegedly raped inside the institution on June 25 by an alumnus, while two senior students reportedly assisted the prime accused, a police officer said. All three accused were arrested and produced in court, which remanded them in police custody for four days. Social media handles of the prime accused revealed that he is a former president of the college’s Trinamool Congress Chhatra Parishad unit, and the organisational secretary of the south Kolkata wing of the TMC’s student body. Panja asserted that West Bengal is the only state to have demanded the passage of the 鈥楢parajita Bill’, which seeks stringent punishment for sexual offenders. 鈥淲e want this bill to become law. It will send a strong message and act as a deterrent,鈥 she said. Without naming anyone, Panja took a swipe at the opposition, alleging, 鈥淪ome glorify or garland the accused. But, we do not distribute sweets or protect such people. The Mamata Banerjee-led government neither shields perpetrators nor compromises on women’s dignity.鈥 The TMC also said the Centre’s 鈥渋ndifference鈥 towards the ‘Aparajita Bill’ was 鈥渄eeply unfortunate鈥. 鈥淒espite repeated pleas, the BJP-led government at the Centre has done nothing to implement it,鈥 Panja said. The bill, tabled after the RG Kar hospital incident, aims to modify and introduce fresh provisions in the law related to rape and sexual offences. Earlier, in a post on X, the party said, 鈥淭he state administration, under Hon’ble Chief Minister Smt @MamataOfficial, is committed to providing every possible form of support and assistance to the victim during this distressing time. Justice will be served.鈥 (This is an unedited and auto-generated story from Syndicated News feed, LatestLY Staff may not have modified or edited the content body)
