Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) West Bengal unit president Sukanta Majumdar on Friday (June 27, 2025) claimed that the alleged gang rape in a law college in Kolkata shows that female students are “not safe” in educational institutes in the State.
“The incident comes after the rape-murder of a doctor in the R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital last year, an incident that triggered protests across the country,” he said.
Mr. Majumdar, the Union Minister of State for Education, alleged that the law and order situation in West Bengal is "in a shambles" even though Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee takes care of the Police (Home) Department.
“After the rape-murder of an on-duty doctor in the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital last year, the alleged incident of gang rape of a student took place in a law college in Kolkata, and this only goes on to prove that “female students are not safe in educational institutions” in the State,” the BJP leader said.
