Another sexual assault case has come the light in the Indian state of West Bengal, where a Kolkata woman has accused a man of attempted rape and physical assault, who was previously reportedly convicted in the 2012 Park Street gang rape case. The woman alleged it happened at a nightclub inside a five-star hotel in the city.
According to her complaint filed at the Bidhannagar South Police Station, a group of men began arguing with her group before turning violent.
The woman identified two men in the incident: Naser Khan and Junaid Khan. In her complaint, she claimed that Nasrr Khan, who had earlier served a prison term in a gang rape case before being released in 2020, was among those who attacked her and tried to touch her inappropriately.
Although the police have yet to confirm if he is the same person convicted in the Park Street gang rape case.
"They attacked us with bottles and tried to touch me inappropriately," the woman stated in her complaint, according to a police officer.
This came after on October 10, 2025, a 23-year-old girl, a student of second year MBBS, was gang-raped in Durgapur, West Bengal, India. The location was just 170 km from the capital city of Kolkata. The girl was studying in a private medical college. In this case, the Chief Minister of Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, said that the survivor should have protected herself and not been out at night.

"How did she come out at 12.30 at night?" the West Bengal CM asked. She tried defending her government from the allegation of women's safety failure, saying that it was the responsibility of the college to ensure the survivor's safety, not her government's.
"Especially, a girl child at night-time, they shouldn't be allowed to come outside. They have to protect themselves also," Banerjee added. This was not the first time Banerjee made such a bizarre and misogynistic comment. During previous rape cases in the state, the CM was seen making some controversial remarks where she blamed the rape survivor.
