Kolkata gang rape case of 24-year-old law student has taken a significant turn as technical evidence, including CCTV footage and call data records, has been analysed and found to corroborate the victim’s statement. The investigation team is now gearing up to interrogate students to further verify the facts of the incident.

According to the police, the vice principal of the institution has confirmed that none of the accused persons had access to the CCTV feeds, which suggests that the footage has not been tampered with.

Meanwhile, on Sunday, people from diverse backgrounds united in solidarity, participating in protests against the gang rape of a law college student in Kolkata. Demonstrations took place outside South Calcutta Law College, the alleged crime scene, and Kasba Police Station, where the First Information Report (FIR) was filed.

Protests spread to different parts of the city by evening, including Jadavpur, Rashbehari, and Harzra. Supporters of “Abhaya Mancha" a group created after rape and murder of a trainee doctor at R.G. Kar Hospital and Medical College on August 9, 2024, participated in the protests, along with students and the elderly.

The investigation into the incident has seen significant progress, with the medico-legal examination and the survivor’s statement under Section 183 of BNSS being completed. To expedite the probe, the Kolkata Police has bolstered the Special Investigation Team by increasing its personnel to nine officers.

The protests on Sunday brought back memories of the massive protests after the horrific crime at R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital last year. 

Earlier, the National Commission for Women (NCW) member Archana Majumdar on Sunday claimed that she was not allowed to meet the victim who was allegedly gang-raped. Citing “non-cooperation", Majumdar added that when she talked to the victim’s parents on Saturday night, they were tense, but they did not pick up her call on Sunday.

“Yesterday, till midnight, I spoke to the victim’s parents. I told them I would come and meet them. They were very tense and wanted cooperation. Today in the morning, when we tried to reach them, they did not pick up the phone. When I asked the police, they said they don’t know. When I asked SP Bauruipur, he said their house was under lock and key," she said.

“I visited, and they cooperated, but the pace of occurrence was sealed; they did not allow me to record. They said if we record, they will seize it. How is that possible? I’m going to Delhi and will discuss and give a report. We are disappointed," she added.

The police have arrested three people, including the main accused, in connection with the alleged gang-rape of a 24-year-old law student inside the college campus on Wednesday, June 25. A five-member special team has also been constituted to probe the incident.
