“West Bengal a Nightmare for Women”: Amit Malviya Slams TMC Over Kolkata Law Student Gang-Rape

New Delhi: BJP’s IT Cell chief and party central observer for West Bengal, Amit Malviya, on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Trinamool Congress government after a law student was allegedly gang-raped inside her own college campus in Kolkata’s Kasba area on Wednesday night.

“Under Mamata Banerjee’s rule, West Bengal has become a nightmare for women. Rape has turned into a routine tragedy,” Malviya said in a statement posted on X, adding that the BJP stands with the victim and her family and will not rest until all culprits are punished.

He further alleged that Manojit Mishra, one of the prime accused, has links with powerful figures in the TMC.

“The horror of RG Kar hasn’t faded, and yet such heinous crimes continue to rise daily in Bengal,” Malviya remarked, recalling the 2023 rape and murder of a junior doctor on the R.G. Kar Medical College campus.

According to police, the three arrested in this latest case include a former student and two current students of South Kolkata Law College, the same institution where the 23-year-old survivor is enrolled.

Meanwhile, West Bengal Municipal Affairs and Urban Development Minister and Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim described the incident as deeply serious but declined to comment further until more details emerged.

“I have just heard of the matter from media persons. The matter is serious. I can speak on this issue only after getting the details,” Hakim told reporters.

Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari also weighed in, demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over what he called a “complete collapse of women’s safety” in the state.

“The Chief Minister should step down from her chair immediately,” Adhikari declared, pledging to pursue the matter until justice is served, similar to the uproar after the RG Kar tragedy.
