BJP targets TMC
Regarding this matter, Amit Malviya, the head of the Bharatiya Janata Party's National Information and Technology Cell, has directly attacked the ruling Trinamool Congress. He wrote on social media, "On June 25, a gang rape incident occurred with a female student at a law college located in the Kasba area of Kolkata. A former student of the college and two employees are involved in this. According to reports, one of the accused is associated with TMC."
Malviya further wrote, "The incident at RG Kar Medical College has not been forgotten yet, and once again questions have been raised about the safety of women. West Bengal is becoming an unsafe state for women under Mamata Banerjee's rule. Rape is now becoming a common tragedy here."
BJP's claim: The party stands with the victim
The BJP leader said that the party stands with the victim and her family and will make every possible effort to punish the criminals. He raised serious questions about law and order and demanded an answer from the state government.
No response from TMC yet
So far, no official response has come from the Trinamool Congress regarding this incident. However, the police department is actively involved in the investigation and the background of the suspects is being examined.
