Kolkata gang rape horror: Victim beaten, blackmailed, TMC distances from accused

The victim's complaint in the Kolkata rape case revealed that the accused threatened to arrest her parents and expose her personal life if she did not cooperate. The complainant stated she was beaten, including with a hockey stick, causing severe head injuries. The Trinamool Congress has distanced itself from the main accused, who was a local student leader, and called for strict action against the perpetrators. The party also criticised the BJP for politicising the issue and delaying the implementation of the Aparajita Bill, aimed at addressing crimes against women.
