In the Durgapur gang rape case of West Bengal, police have arrested three suspects, while two are still at large. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has made a controversial statement.
Mamata Banerjee asserted that girls should not be allowed to go out at night. Banerjee stated that dragging her government into this matter is not right, as the responsibility for the girl's safety lay with the medical college.
Banerjee emphasized that young girls, in particular, should not venture out at night. They should ensure their own safety. Describing the incident as shocking, Mamata stated that those involved will not be spared. Our zero-tolerance policy towards such crimes means that three suspects have been arrested, and the police are searching for others. No one will be let off the hook.
She highlighted that this is a private college. Three weeks earlier, three girls had been raped on a beach in Odisha. What action is the Odisha government taking there? This girl was studying at a private medical college. Why was she outside at 12:30 a.m.? As far as I know, the incident occurred in a wooded area. I am unaware of what happened there. The college should be vigilant about the students' safety and not allow them out at night. The area is near a forest. The police are interrogating everyone. No one will be spared. The culprits will face severe punishment.
