There is no sensitivity: Bhupendra Yadav slams TMC over Kolkata rape case

North 24 Parganas (West Bengal) [India] June 30 (ANI): Union Minister Bhupendra Yadav has strongly criticised the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government over the alleged gang rape incident at South Calcutta Law College.
While addressing reporters on Monday, Yadav expressed his disappointment with the state government's handling of women's safety, stating, "The situation in West Bengal is very bad. Atrocities against women are happening continuously here. The West Bengal government has proven completely ineffective in the name of women's safety. The kind of statements TMC leaders are giving make it seem like there is no sensitivity."
The Union Minister emphasized the need for a change in government, asserting, "It is very important for this government, which is entirely focused on appeasement, to be ousted, for the sake of Bengal's interests."
The Kolkata Police said that all three FIR-named accused in the Kasba Law College gangrape case were arrested within 12 hours of the incident. A fourth accused was also apprehended based on evidence collected during the investigation.
Police added that the medicolegal examination of both the victim and the accused has been completed, and forensic experts have examined the crime scene. A Special Investigation Team (SIT), led by senior officers, is overseeing the probe to ensure a swift and thorough investigation.
