Women’s safety in Kolkata under scrutiny
In recent years, women’s safety in Kolkata has been under severe scrutiny after rape cases. On June 25, a law student was allegedly raped on the South Calcutta Law College campus and Monojit Mishra, an alumnus of the college, who is the prime accused in the case, was arrested. He was a former Trinamool Chhatra Parishad (TMCP) unit president of the college. The TMCP had maintained that it had no association with Mishra for the past two years.
In 2024, the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital had triggered nationwide protests. The accused, Sanjay Roy, who is a former civic police volunteer, was given life imprisonment by a local court earlier this year.
