The ruling Trinamool Congress on Friday (June 27, 2025) condemned the alleged gangrape of a student at a law college in Kolkata and said the incident should not be politicised.

Addressing a press conference, West Bengal minister Shashi Panja said the state government stands firmly with the student and her family.

“This incident is extremely painful. Kolkata Police has already initiated action, and all information related to the probe is available to the public,” Ms. Panja said.

“Instead of making the victim a battleground for politics, her pain must be understood, she must be respected, and justice must be ensured – swiftly and unconditionally,” she added.
