Rajya Sabha MP Rekha Sharma has sharply criticised the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government over the alleged gangrape of a female law student at South Calcutta Law College, accusing the Trinamool Congress (TMC) of pressuring the police and hampering investigations.
Calling crimes against women in West Bengal a "pattern now," BJP leader Satpal Singh on Monday led a fact-finding team to South Kolkata following the alleged gangrape of a female student inside South Calcutta Law College on June 25.
The incident reportedly occurred during the flight duration. The passenger, in an inebriated state, behaved inappropriately with a member of the cabin crew. Upon landing at Jaipur International Airport, the crew immediately reported the matter to airport security.
Meanwhile, the three accused, Manojit Mishra, Zaib Ahmed and Pramit Mukhopadhyay, whom the police have named, have been remanded to police custody till July 1.
